Other in West Nipissing

This page covers the 'Other' category in West Nipissing's open-data crime feed for 2019. In this dataset, Other is the parent grouping for records that do not fall under theft, mischief, assault, break and enter, or robbery. It is not an unexplained residual: the 668 records in 2019 include 307 calls for service, 199 traffic and motor-vehicle collision (MVC) reports, 96 bylaw and provincial offence records, 51 other crime records, 11 drug records, and 4 harassment records. Counts here are based on the full 2019 calendar-year archive, not the 60-day map view.

Other was the largest category in West Nipissing in 2019, with 668 records. That represents 89.5% of the city's 746 open-data incidents for the year. The remaining categories are much smaller: Theft logged 48 records, Mischief 12, Assault 9, Break and enter 8, and Robbery 1.

How Other compares

Among West Nipissing's six open-data categories, Other ranks first in 2019 with 668 records. It exceeds every sibling category individually: Theft (48), Mischief (12), Assault (9), Break and enter (8), and Robbery (1). This gap reflects the category's composition rather than a single crime type: calls for service account for 307 of the 668 records, Traffic & MVC accounts for 199, and Bylaw & Provincial accounts for 96. At 89.5% of the city's 746 record total, the margin over those categories is wide. The published series for Other includes only 2019, so the comparison is limited to that year.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

The Other bucket dominates West Nipissing's 2019 open-data file because it captures calls for service (307) and Traffic & MVC (199), not because of a single crime type. At 668 records, it is nearly nine-tenths of the city's 746 incidents; the conventional offence categories are far smaller, with Theft (48) the largest among them. The published series contains only 2019, so there is no year-over-year shift to describe. Harassment appears within Other at 4 records, a small slice of the category.

About this dataset

Frequently asked questions about Other in West Nipissing

What types of incidents are included in West Nipissing's Other category?

In this open-data feed, Other is the parent category for records that are not classified as theft, mischief, assault, break and enter, or robbery. For 2019, the breakdown shows 307 calls for service, 199 Traffic & MVC records, 96 Bylaw & Provincial records, 51 other crime records, 11 drug records, and 4 harassment records. The harassment records are a small person-offence component in this feed rather than physical assaults.

How does Other compare with the rest of West Nipissing's categories?

Other is the largest of the six open-data categories, with 668 records in 2019, and it represents 89.5% of the city's 746 incidents. The next-largest sibling category is Theft, with 48 records, followed by Mischief (12), Assault (9), Break and enter (8), and Robbery (1). No other category comes close to Other's count.

Did the Other category change from the previous year?

The dataset for West Nipissing includes only one year of Other records: 2019, with 668 records. Because there is no earlier or later year in the published series, no year-over-year increase or decrease can be calculated. The 668 figure is the full calendar-year total for this category in the archive.

Why is Other so much larger than the other categories?

The size is explained by the composition of the category rather than by a single crime type. Calls for service make up 307 of the 668 Other records, Traffic & MVC accounts for 199, and Bylaw & Provincial contributes 96. These service-oriented records help explain why Other ranks above conventional offence categories in this city's open-data feed.
