What this data can and can’t tell you
- Solved cases. A crime is cleared when police lay or recommend a charge, or solve it another way; the weighted rate counts serious crimes for more.
- How serious, not how safe. 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.”
- Not the neighbourhood’s own. The figures for Caswell Hill are city-wide: neighbourhood counts aren’t published as open data here.
- Reading the number. Statistics Canada set the national index at 100 for 2006; every figure here is read against that.
