What’s behind Haysboro’s grade
How sure: Not as firm as most grades, since the figure covers the entire city rather than Haysboro alone.

Its place: #33 of 474 in Alberta and #1,144 of 2,572 Canadian towns.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The clearance rate. A crime is cleared when police lay or recommend a charge, or solve it another way; the weighted rate counts serious crimes for more.
- Severity, weighed. 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.”
- The whole city’s numbers. Without open access to Calgary’s community statistics, the figures here are the city’s, not Haysboro’s own.
- What 100 means. The index is scaled so that Canada as a whole scored 100 in its base year, 2006: a town at 50 has half that severity per resident.
