Vaughan crime overview

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

Other was the most common category with 4 reports, followed by Assault with 2 and Theft with 2. South of Maple logged 3 incidents among 12 neighbourhoods, while the interactive map also shows a 60-day window with 1,761 incidents and full-archive trends from 2021 to 2026 for context.

About this data

This page summarizes reported crime for Vaughan, Ontario for the latest day (2026-10-12), with 9 incidents recorded on that occurrence date in York Regional Police open data. Vaughan is published as part of the York Region feed alongside Markham, Richmond Hill and other member municipalities, with this page split to the Vaughan municipal boundary. Police may still add late reports for October 12, 2026, so the day's count can rise.

The day-level view is useful for seeing the immediate mix of incident types and where reports clustered, rather than an annual total. For context, the interactive map shows a rolling 60 days with 1,761 incidents, a much larger window than the 9-incident single-day headline. Day-to-day counts move with reporting and staffing patterns, so this snapshot is best read beside longer-term totals.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for the latest-day total of 9 incidents on October 12, 2026. A single-day count is not comparable as an annual change. For longer calendar context, the full-archive figures cover complete years 2024 to 2025, with 14,793 incidents in 2025 compared with 15,464 in 2024, down 4.3%. Those full-archive complete-year figures are distinct from the latest-day headline and from the 60-day map window total of 1,761 incidents. The archive year series lists 10,184 incidents for 2026, which remains an incomplete year and is not a full annual total.

Category breakdown

On October 12, 2026, the 9-incident mix was led by Other with 4 incidents, or 44.4%, followed by Assault with 2 incidents, or 22.2%, and Theft with 2 incidents, or 22.2%. Break and enter accounted for the remaining 1 incident, or 11.1%. For context on the Other grouping, the full-archive breakdown, not the daily mix, lists Threats as the leading slice with 3,999 incidents, or 25.5% of Other, followed by Harassment with 2,937. Threats and harassment under Other are open-data person offences and are not physical assault, which is recorded separately as Assault. York Regional Police groups many incident types under Other.

Where incidents concentrate

Among 12 neighbourhoods, South of Maple recorded 3 incidents, followed by Around Maple with 2, Concord-Vaughan with 2, and Woodbridge North with 1 on October 12, 2026. All neighbourhood counts come from York Regional Police open data. This reflects where that day's 9 reports were recorded, which is a count of activity concentration, not per-capita risk. With only 9 incidents, one or two reports can change the order, so the neighbourhood order for a single day is not a neighbourhood comparison for the year.

What this means

Vaughan's latest day is a very small 9-incident snapshot for October 12, 2026, so the 44.4% Other share, or 4 incidents, and the tied 2-incident counts for Assault and Theft can shift with a single report. South of Maple, with 3 incidents, recorded the most reports that day among 12 neighbourhoods. Readers should note the full-archive pattern where Threats, at 3,999 incidents or 25.5% of Other, and Harassment sit beside Assault rather than within it. The full-archive complete years also show 14,793 incidents in 2025 versus 15,464 in 2024.

FAQ

How many incidents were reported in Vaughan on the latest day?
Vaughan recorded 9 incidents on 2026-10-12, the city’s latest exact occurrence day in this feed. This is a single-day count, not a year-to-date total and not the interactive map’s 60-day total of 1,761 incidents. Because it reflects the latest reporting day, York Regional Police may still add late reports, so the count for October 12 can rise slightly after publication.

What was the most common incident type, and what does Other include?
On 2026-10-12, Other was the leading category with 4 of 9 incidents, or 44.4%, followed by Assault and Theft with 2 each. Across the full archive, Other is detailed as Threats with 3,999 records, 25.5% of Other, and Harassment with 2,937 records, 18.8% of Other. Those Threats and Harassment records are open-data person offences, not physical assault, and not unexplained leftover crime.

Has reported crime in Vaughan been trending up or down?
Year-over-year change is not available for the October 12 single-day period. For calendar-year context, the full archive shows 14,793 incidents in 2025 compared with 15,464 in 2024, a decrease of 4.3% across complete years. The 2026 count of 10,013 to date is incomplete and cannot be compared with a full prior year as an annual change.

Which Vaughan neighbourhoods had the most incidents that day?
Of the 9 incidents on 2026-10-12, South of Maple recorded 3, Around Maple recorded 2, Concord-Vaughan recorded 2, and Woodbridge North recorded 1. Vaughan is mapped across 12 neighbourhood areas in this source, so several areas had no incidents that day. With only 9 records, one or two reports can change the neighbourhood order from day to day.

Where does this Vaughan data come from?
The figures come from York Regional Police open data, provided as a York Region regional feed that is split into municipality pages such as Vaughan. Neighbourhood names like South of Maple and Concord-Vaughan reflect that regional open layer’s geography, not a separate Vaughan police service. Sibling pages cover Markham, Richmond Hill, Newmarket and other York Region municipalities from the same feed.

How current are these Vaughan numbers?
The open-data extract runs through 2026-10-12, which is both the latest occurrence day and the selected Latest day (2026-10-12) headline of 9 incidents. Police may still add late reports for that day. The interactive map uses a separate rolling 60-day window with 1,761 incidents, so its total is larger because it covers a longer recent period than the single-day headline.
