What this data can and can’t tell you
- Solved cases. Police clear an incident by charging someone, recommending a charge, or closing it another way. The rate weighs serious crimes more, as the index does.
- How serious, not how safe. Statistics Canada, which publishes the index, attaches a caution: “The CSI is not an indicator of overall safety and should be interpreted in the broader community context.” The number weighs each reported crime by its seriousness before dividing by residents.
- City-wide figures. No open data breaks the city’s crime down by neighbourhood, so Dewdney Place carries the city-wide figures.
- Reading the number. A reading of 100 is the whole country in 2006. Half of that, 50, means half the severity per resident.
