Northeast: C− for safety, and why
How sure: A less certain grade than most: it reads the city’s overall figure, which can hide how Northeast 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: #18 of 104 in Saskatchewan and #1,949 of 2,572 Canadian towns.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- An index, not a verdict. 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.
- Not the neighbourhood’s own. No open data breaks the city’s crime down by neighbourhood, so Northeast carries the city-wide figures.
- The index’s scale. Statistics Canada set the national index at 100 for 2006; every figure here is read against that.
- What clearance means. A crime is cleared when police lay or recommend a charge, or solve it another way; the weighted rate counts serious crimes for more.
