What sits behind Uplands’s C−
How sure: Not as firm as most grades, since the figure covers the entire city rather than Uplands alone.
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
- 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. The index weighs crimes rather than counting them: a serious offence moves it far more than a minor one. Statistics Canada is plain about its limits: “The CSI is not an indicator of overall safety and should be interpreted in the broader community context.”
- City-wide figures. Its city publishes no open neighbourhood crime figures, so every figure for Uplands is the city police’s, for the whole city.
