In Thunder Bay, the ‘Other’ category ranks 1 out of 9 categories, making it the most common offence grouping.

The ‘Other’ category dominates Thunder Bay’s crime landscape, comprising nearly half of all reported incidents in 2024.

‘Other’ leads with 3,409 incidents, far surpassing the next highest category, Assault, which recorded 1,259 incidents in 2024. This makes ‘Other’ more than double the size of any single sibling category such as Theft (1,048) or Break and Enter (517).
The year‑over‑year change shows a 232.6 % rise, climbing from 1,025 incidents in 2023 to 3,409 in 2024. This surge reflects a substantial growth in the underlying sub‑categories, especially the Traffic & MVC count, which now totals 3,373 incidents.
