Rosenthal: C− for safety, and why
How sure: Less sure than most. The grade rests on a figure for the whole city, so Rosenthal’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: #229 of 474 in Alberta and #2,009 of 2,572 Canadian towns.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The whole city’s numbers. Edmonton Police no longer publish neighbourhood occurrences as open data, so Rosenthal’s figures are the whole city’s.
- 100 is Canada in 2006. Statistics Canada set the national index at 100 for 2006; every figure here is read against that.
- Cleared, not convicted. Cleared means solved by police, charged or not; it says nothing about what courts decide.
- What the index measures. Each incident counts by its seriousness, judged from court sentences, and the total is set per resident. As Statistics Canada puts it, “The CSI is not an indicator of overall safety and should be interpreted in the broader community context.”
