Auteuil: B for safety, and why
How sure: A less certain grade than most: it reads the city’s overall figure, which can hide how Auteuil itself compares.
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: #242 of 503 in Quebec and #736 of 2,572 Canadian towns.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Solved cases. Cleared means solved by police, charged or not; it says nothing about what courts decide.
- How serious, not how safe. 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. Its city publishes no open neighbourhood crime figures, so every figure for Auteuil is the city police’s, for the whole city.
- Reading the number. Statistics Canada set the national index at 100 for 2006; every figure here is read against that.
