How to credit us
You may copy, quote and republish the figures and tables on this page, including in commercial publications, on two conditions:
- Credit Canada Crime Map with a link to canadacrimemap.com/crime-rate-in-canada-by-city/ or to the page you used.
- Name Statistics Canada as the source of the underlying data. Statistics Canada data is published under the Statistics Canada Open Licence.
Suggested credit line: Source: Statistics Canada, police-reported crime 2025, compiled by Canada Crime Map (canadacrimemap.com).
What should I know before using these numbers?
- These are metro areas, not cities. The Toronto figure covers the whole census metropolitan area, not only the City of Toronto. City police services have their own CSI: the Toronto Police Service recorded 59.98 in 2025, against 55.0 for the Toronto CMA.
- The CSI weights crimes by seriousness, so it can rank cities differently from the crime rate. See the Crime Severity Index explained.
- Only police-reported crime is counted. In 2019 only about 29% of victimizations were reported to police.
- Not every city is a metro area. Surrey, Brampton, Mississauga and Oshawa are part of larger CMAs or have no CMA figure; use their police-service figures instead.
- Numbeo is not crime data. Many “most dangerous cities” lists use Numbeo’s online perception survey. Our Numbeo vs Statistics Canada comparison shows how far the two diverge.
More tables you can use
- Most dangerous cities in Canada 2026 (top 10, with crime and violent crime rates)
- Crime rate in Canada by city (all 41 metro areas)
- Crime rate by province and territory
- Homicide rate by city
- Toronto crime rate by neighbourhood (158 areas)
