What’s behind Glamorgan’s grade
How sure: Less sure than most. The grade rests on a figure for the whole city, so Glamorgan’s own streets could sit well above or below it.
The grade weighs the Crime Severity Index and its violent half, averaged over 2023–2025, against every Canadian town and city neighbourhood of 1,000 people or more.
Its place: #33 of 474 in Alberta and #1,144 of 2,572 Canadian towns.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Not the neighbourhood’s own. Calgary’s community crime statistics sit behind a sign-in, so Glamorgan’s figures are the whole city’s.
- The index’s scale. A reading of 100 is the whole country in 2006. Half of that, 50, means half the severity per resident.
- What clearance means. Weighted like the index, so solving one assault counts for more than solving a mischief; a charge laid, recommended or otherwise resolved all count.
- An index, not a verdict. Statistics Canada builds the index from every crime police record, weighted by how seriously the courts treat it, and divides by the population. It adds a warning of its own: “The CSI is not an indicator of overall safety and should be interpreted in the broader community context.”
