About this data

This page summarises Timmins' 2017 open-data incident picture: 3,382 reported records from the official police/municipal open-data portal in Ontario. The 2017 total is a complete calendar-year count from the full archive, not a shorter map window. Of those records, 113 fall in violent-category incident types. Because most records are grouped under "Other," this page relies on the subcategory breakdown to show what that broad grouping contains — traffic, calls for service, bylaw, drugs, harassment, weapons and other crime.

The live interactive map uses a rolling 60-day view for Timmins and shows 2,055 records; the stats on this page cover all of 2017, so the two views are not directly comparable. These are counts of reported incidents from open data. Viewing the annual total alongside the map's shorter window helps separate the full-year picture from the more recent view.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for Timmins' 2017 data. The archive year series in this open-data feed contains a single year — 2017, with 3,382 records — so there is no previous complete year in the same series to compare against. This page therefore reports the 2017 count as a standalone annual figure rather than a rise or fall. The 2017 total is the full calendar-year open-data total from the on-disk archive, not the 60-day interactive map window.

Category breakdown

In 2017, the top-category breakdown for Timmins is headed by Other, with 2,983 incidents and 88.2% of the total. Theft is the largest specifically named category at 181 incidents (5.4%), and Assault follows at 106 incidents (3.1%). Mischief (57), Break and enter (39) and Auto theft (9) sit below that in the published list. Because Other is so large, its own breakdown matters: Traffic & MVC is the leading slice at 1,286 records, equal to 43.1% of Other and 38% of all 2017 incidents. Harassment, at 31 records, is a person-related slice within this Other grouping rather than unexplained residual crime.

Key stats

  • 2017 open-data total: 3,382 reported incidents.
  • Other: 2,983 incidents, 88.2% of total.
  • Traffic & MVC: 1,286 records, 38% of all incidents.

What these numbers mean

Timmins' 2017 open-data profile is defined by the size of its Other category: 2,983 records and 88.2% of all incidents. The subcategory breakdown shows that is not a leftover bin — Traffic & MVC makes up 1,286 records and 38% of the total, followed by Calls for service at 1,156. Theft (181) is the most common specifically named category, and Assault (106) is the one violent category in the published top list; all violent-category records together number 113. Harassment (31) sits under Other as a person offence. The lack of a prior year in the series means no rise-or-fall claim can be made.

About this dataset

  • Reporting basis: Counts reflect incidents reported to police only. Under-reporting — especially for sexual assault, fraud, and minor theft — means actual incidence is higher than these figures show.
  • Not a per-capita rate: These are absolute incident counts. Comparing one place’s counts to another without normalising for population can mislead — see the Crime Severity Index for severity-weighted, population-adjusted rankings.
  • Privacy: Coordinates on the map are rounded to roughly 111 m so individual addresses cannot be inferred.
  • What "Other" includes: The parent Other category is split on the map into Traffic & MVC, Drugs, Weapons offences, Bylaw & Provincial, Calls for service, and Other crime. In this dataset the largest Other slice is Traffic & MVC (43.1% of Other, 1,286 records). These are open-data rows, not a separate "mystery crime" class.
  • Data window: 2017.

Frequently asked questions about crime in Timmins

How many crime incidents were recorded in Timmins for the year 2017?

The open‑data feed shows a total of 3,382 incidents recorded in Timmins during 2017. These incidents occurred between September 22 and December 21 2017, covering the complete calendar year as defined by the archive. All incidents are counted within this period; the figure does not include any 60‑day rolling map window totals.

What is the most common incident category in Timmins and what does “Other” include?

The leading category is Other, accounting for 2,983 incidents (88.2 % of the total). Other is broken down into several sub‑categories: Traffic & MVC (1,286 incidents, 43.1 % of Other), Calls for service (1,156, 38.8 %), Bylaw & Provincial (353, 11.8 %), Other crime (106, 3.6 %), Drugs (37, 1.2 %), Harassment (31, 1.0 %) and Weapons offences (14, 0.5 %). Threats and harassment are person offences demoted from assault categories and are not physical assaults.

Is there a year‑over‑year change for Timmins crime data?

A year‑over‑year change is not available for the 2017 period because the dataset includes only a single year of complete‑calendar data. The archive does not provide a prior year comparison for this city, so no YoY percentage or trend can be reported.

Why aren’t neighbourhood‑level crime breakdowns shown for Timmins?

The Timmins open‑data set does not contain neighbourhood‑level incident counts, so the map and summary cannot display a neighbourhood breakdown. Consequently, the page lists no neighbourhood data and points readers to city‑wide totals instead.

What source provides the Timmins crime data?

The figures come from Ontario’s official police open‑data portal, which publishes incident‑level data for Timmins and other municipalities in the province.

How recent is the Timmins crime data and how does it compare to the interactive map window?

The latest incident in the 2017 dataset is dated December 21 2017, representing the full calendar year. For contrast, the interactive 60‑day map window shows 2,055 incidents, a subset of the annual total, and reflects only recent activity rather than the complete year’s counts.
