Its letter for safety is C−, worked out from crime the police covering Beaumaris reported over 2023 to 2025: #229 of 474 in Alberta. By contrast, by 2025 the index had dropped to 103.9, down from 114.9 in 2023. Split in two, the index gives 128.3 for violence and 103.6 for everything else (normally 75.2 and 54.2). The yearly rates were 14.2 violent incidents and 45.0 incidents of property crime per 1,000 residents, set against 10.8 and 25.1 in the typical Canadian town of 50,000+.
Statistics Canada, police-reported crime, 2023–2025 means. The index weighs each crime by its seriousness; rates are incidents per 1,000 residents a year. Shared with the rest of the Edmonton service area: crime severity and crime rate.
What sits behind Beaumaris’s C−
How sure: Less sure than most, because no figure exists for Beaumaris on its own; the city’s, for its whole area, stands in.
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.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The whole city’s numbers. Edmonton’s neighbourhood crime data has left the city’s open-data site and carries no open licence; Beaumaris takes the city-wide figures.
- 100 is Canada in 2006. 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.
- Cleared, not convicted. Cleared means solved by police, charged or not; it says nothing about what courts decide.
- What the index measures. 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.”
