The 2024 category mix was led by Assault with 1,259 records, followed by Theft at 1,047 and Break and enter at 517.

About this data
This page summarizes 368 incidents recorded in Thunder Bay, Ontario, during October 2024, drawn from the official police / municipal open-data portal feed. The open-data points span 28 September 2023 to 24 October 2024, with October 2024 as the last complete calendar month with published counts. For a fresher official snapshot, the Thunder Bay Police Service Annual Reports list 10,729 Total Criminal Code Incidents for full year 2025, a separate annual aggregate from the map points.
The 368 figure is the October calendar-month total, not a year-to-date total and not the interactive map window. The map currently shows 1,067 incidents across its rolling 60 days. Category detail reflects the broader 2024 open-data mix of 4,173 dated records, which helps place the October count in context when comparing offence types.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for October 2024 because the archive does not contain a complete-year pair for comparison. The on-disk archive holds 5,267 incidents in total, with 1,094 records in 2023 and 4,173 records in 2024, spanning 28 September 2023 to 24 October 2024. Since 2023 starts late in the year and 2024 ends in October, neither year represents a full calendar year in the open-data feed. The 4,173 figure for 2024 is the dated-records total, separate from the 368-incident October 2024 headline.
Category breakdown
The broader 2024 open-data mix of 4,173 dated records is led by Assault with 1,259 incidents, or 30.2%, followed by Theft with 1,047 incidents, or 25.1%, and Break and enter with 517 incidents, or 12.4%. Mischief follows with 482 incidents, or 11.6%, then Other with 352 incidents, or 8.4%, and Robbery with 179 incidents, or 4.3%. Within Other, Drugs accounts for 275 incidents, or 64.7% of Other, while Other crime accounts for 150 incidents. These category figures describe the 2024 mix, not the October 2024 month total alone. The violent-category sum for 2024 stands at 1,497 incidents, separate from the Assault-specific count above.
What this means
Thunder Bay's October 2024 headline is a modest 368-incident month set against a 2024 open-data mix dominated by Assault at 1,259 incidents, or 30.2%, and Theft at 1,047 incidents, or 25.1%. Break and enter at 517 incidents remains visible, while Drugs explains much of Other with 275 incidents, or 64.7% of Other. Official annual reports add context, listing 3,597 shoplifting incidents and 1,549 Assault incidents for full year 2025, alongside 7 homicide investigations.
FAQ
How many incidents were recorded in Thunder Bay in October 2024?
Thunder Bay's open-data file records 368 incidents for October 2024, the last complete calendar month with published counts. That monthly headline is separate from the 4,173 dated records logged for 2024 overall and from the interactive map's 60-day view of 1,067 incidents.
What is the most common offence type in Thunder Bay's 2024 data?
For the 2024 category mix, Assault ranks first with 1,259 incidents, or 30.2% of the 4,173 dated records, followed by Theft at 1,047 incidents. The 352 incidents grouped as Other include Drugs with 275 records and Other crime with 150 records on the full-archive breakdown. These category counts describe 2024 overall, not just October 2024.
Are incidents in Thunder Bay going up or down year over year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this period. The archive lists 1,094 records for 2023 and 4,173 records for 2024, with 5,267 incidents across both years combined. Because the file spans 2023-09-28 to 2024-10-24 and October 2024 is the last complete month, the two calendar years do not offer a like-for-like annual comparison.
Which Thunder Bay neighbourhoods have the most incidents?
Neighbourhood breakdowns are not available for this Thunder Bay source. The open file does not publish a neighbourhood field that can be ranked, so there is no per-neighbourhood table to compare within the 368 October 2024 incidents or the 4,173 records for 2024. City-level totals and category counts remain the most detailed geography available here.
Where does this Thunder Bay crime data come from?
Map points come from Ontario's official police / municipal open-data portal, as CityProtect CSV exports through 2024-10-24, showing 4,173 dated records for 2024. Separate official figures come from Thunder Bay Police Service Annual Reports, including 10,729 Criminal Code incidents for full-year 2025. The two tallies use different methods, so different totals are expected.
How current is the Thunder Bay data on this page?
The open-data headline covers October 2024 with 368 incidents, and mapped points run from 2023-09-28 to 2024-10-24. The interactive map separately shows 1,067 incidents in its latest 60 days. For a fresher view, Thunder Bay Police Service Annual Reports list 10,729 Criminal Code incidents for full-year 2025, since the CityProtect feed has lagged.
