Vancouver crime overview

Essay updated 2026-10-13 · figures above are from the latest data

TL;DR. Vancouver recorded 5 incidents on its Latest day (2026-10-12), the city's latest exact occurrence day of October 12, 2026. Assault led the day's mix with 2 reports, tied with Theft from vehicle at 2, followed by Theft at 1. Central Business District recorded 4 incidents and Strathcona recorded 1. Police may still add reports for this recent day, so the count can rise.

About this data

This Vancouver crime-data page covers the latest occurrence day in the open-data feed, 12 October 2026, with 5 incidents recorded for that day. The dated archive behind the page holds 27,800 records spanning 2021 to 2026, but the headline figure of 5 reflects 12 October 2026 only. On that day, reports were split between Central Business District with 4 incidents and Strathcona with 1 incident across 24 neighbourhoods tracked in the feed.

Figures come from the official municipal open-data portal for British Columbia, republished here for neighbourhood-level mapping and comparison. The interactive map uses a separate 60-day rolling window with 6,133 incidents, which is why its total is larger than the 5-incident daily headline. Checking the daily mix alongside that broader window helps readers see whether a single day reflects assault, theft from vehicle and theft reports.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for the selected period because the headline total of 5 incidents covers only the latest day, 12 October 2026, not a complete calendar year. Daily counts can rise as police add late reports, so a single-day figure cannot support an annual comparison. For calendar context, the full-archive series shows 35,902 incidents in 2024 and 34,348 incidents in 2025, a change of -4.3% between those two complete years. That full-archive comparison is separate from the latest-day headline and from the 60-day map window total of 6,133 incidents.

Category breakdown

The 5 incidents on 12 October 2026 break down into three reported categories. Assault led in a tie with 2 incidents, accounting for 40% of the day's total, matching Theft from vehicle with 2 incidents and 40%. Theft followed with 1 incident, representing 20% of the day's total. With only 5 records, each report shifts the percentage mix sharply, so the even split between Assault and Theft from vehicle reflects that small daily base rather than a year-long pattern. The dated archive of 27,800 records provides broader context, while the full on-disk archive holds 194,130 incidents across 2021 to 2026. Readers can compare this one-day mix with longer windows before drawing conclusions about typical offence patterns in Vancouver.

What this means

What stands out on 12 October 2026 is how small and concentrated the count is: just 5 incidents, with 4 in Central Business District and 1 in Strathcona. Assault and Theft from vehicle each contributed 2 incidents and 40% of the day, while Theft added the remaining 1 incident and 20%. That balance is unusual for such a quiet reporting day and will shift with any late reports. The 60-day map total of 6,133 incidents offers a steadier reference point than this single-day snapshot.

FAQ

How many incidents were reported in Vancouver on the latest day?
Vancouver recorded 5 incidents on the latest reporting day, 2026-10-12. The day's mix was 2 assaults, 2 thefts from vehicle and 1 theft. As the latest exact occurrence day within 7 days of ingest, police may still add reports for 2026-10-12, so the count of 5 can rise. This daily total is separate from longer archive totals.

What type of crime was most common on that day?
Assault was the leading category on 2026-10-12 with 2 incidents, representing 40% of the day's 5 incidents. Theft from vehicle also recorded 2 incidents and 40% on that day, while theft recorded 1 incident and 20%. The 2 assault incidents are distinct from the combined violent-category count for the broader year-to-date feed.

Is crime in Vancouver going up or down?
Year-over-year change is not available for the Latest day (2026-10-12) period. For calendar-year context, the full archive from 2021 to 2026 shows 34,348 incidents in 2025 compared with 35,902 in 2024, a change of -4.3% across those two complete years. The archive also lists 39,343 incidents in 2023 and 27,800 dated incidents for 2026.

Which neighbourhoods had the most incidents on the latest day?
Of the 5 incidents on 2026-10-12, Central Business District recorded 4 incidents and Strathcona recorded 1 incident. Vancouver's open-data feed covers 24 neighbourhoods. This split describes only that single reporting day and is separate from the 6,133 incidents shown for the rolling 60 days on the interactive map.

Where does this Vancouver crime data come from?
These counts come from the official police / municipal open-data portal for British Columbia that supplies Vancouver's feed to CrimeMaps.ca. The portal listed 5 incidents dated 2026-10-12, including 2 assaults and 2 thefts from vehicle. Category names and neighbourhood names, including Central Business District, follow the upstream portal's definitions.

How up to date is the Vancouver data shown here?
Data is current through 2026-10-12, which is both the selected Latest day (2026-10-12) and the maximum occurrence date in the feed. Police may still add reports for that day, so the 5-incident total can rise. The interactive map separately shows 6,133 incidents over the rolling 60 days, which is distinct from the single-day headline of 5 incidents.
