Break and enter in Yellowknife

This page covers Break and enter in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, using the city’s published open-data archive. The headline count is 58 incidents for the latest calendar year, 2026, year-to-date through July. That figure is drawn from the full on-disk archive, not the 60-day map window. Across all published categories, Yellowknife’s city-wide total is 369 incidents, and Break and enter represents 15.7% of that total.

Break and enter ranks third among Yellowknife’s five published offence categories in this window. Theft leads with 137 incidents, and Mischief is next at 127. Auto theft and Theft from vehicle have smaller counts of 27 and 20, respectively. The year series for this category shows only 2026 data, so there is no year-over-year comparison available; the 58 incidents should be treated as a year-to-date count through July, not a full-year figure.

How Break and enter compares

In Yellowknife’s 2026 year-to-date open-data archive, Break and enter ranks third among five published categories with 58 incidents. Theft is the largest listed category at 137 incidents, and Mischief is second at 127. Both are above Break and enter. The two lower-count sibling categories are Auto theft at 27 and Theft from vehicle at 20. The count therefore places Break and enter clearly above those two, but below Theft and Mischief. The category’s 15.7% share of Yellowknife’s 369 city-wide incidents reflects that middle ranking. The series provides no earlier year for Break and enter, so no annual comparison is present in this feed.

About this dataset

Frequently asked questions about Break and enter in Yellowknife

How many break-and-enter incidents are included in Yellowknife's open data for this page?

The page reports 58 break-and-enter incidents for Yellowknife for 2026 year-to-date through July. That count represents 15.7% of the city-wide total of 369 incidents published across all categories in the same open-data archive. The 58-incident figure is not the 60-day map total; it is drawn from the latest calendar year on file.

How does Break and enter compare with other categories in Yellowknife?

Break and enter ranks third among five published categories, with 58 incidents. Theft is higher at 137, and Mischief is higher at 127. Auto theft is lower at 27, and Theft from vehicle is lower at 20. These comparisons all use the same 2026 year-to-date window from the city's open-data archive.

Is 58 incidents a full-year total for Yellowknife?

No. The 58 incidents are the count for the latest calendar year, 2026, year-to-date through July, based on the full on-disk archive. That is not a complete calendar year figure. The category page's year series contains only 2026 data, so there is no prior-year total in the current feed to compare against.

Why does the 60-day map show a different number?

The 60-day map tier is a rolling city-wide view based on the most recent occurrence date, and it shows 172 total incidents for Yellowknife. This category page reports 58 break-and-enter incidents for 2026 YTD through July, a longer and different period. The two numbers measure different windows, so they should not be expected to match.
