About this data
The 2018 Greater Sudbury crime data page presents every incident recorded in the open‑data feed for that calendar year. The figures come from the official police open‑data portal for Ontario and represent the total of 110 reported incidents, covering categories from theft to violent offences. All incidents are date‑stamped, ranging from August 5 to September 3, 2018, and no undated records are present.
These totals help residents and policymakers understand the distribution of crime across the city and support evidence‑based decisions. The interactive map on the page shows a rolling 60‑day window, which for 2018 also totals 110 incidents, providing a short‑term snapshot that complements the full‑year view and public safety initiatives.
Recent trend
A year‑over‑year comparison for 2018 cannot be provided because the archive’s year‑series contains only this single year of data, leaving no complete prior year to calculate a change. Consequently, the page does not display a YoY percentage for the selected period. The 60‑day map window also records 110 incidents for this year, yet it does not provide the comparative baseline needed for a YoY figure. Therefore, analysts must await further yearly data.

FAQ
How many incidents were recorded in Greater Sudbury in 2018?
The 2018 archive contains 110 reported incidents, with occurrence dates between Aug 5 and Sep 3, 2018. Seven of those are violent-category records (assault, sexual assault, robbery, homicide, or shooting). These are incident counts from open data, not crime rates.
What was the most common type of incident in 2018?
Theft was the leading category with 79 incidents, or 71.8% of the 2018 total. Break and enter followed with 10 incidents (9.1%), mischief had 9 (8.2%), assault had 7 (6.4%), and auto theft had 1 (0.9%).
Is the number of incidents going up or down?
A year-over-year change is not available for this period. The archive's year series contains only 2018 data (110 incidents), so there is no earlier or later complete year to compare against. The 2018 figure is a count of reported incidents, not a rate.
Can I see incident counts by neighbourhood in Greater Sudbury?
Neighbourhood-level breakdowns are not available for this source. The open dataset does not provide neighbourhood assignments for the 110 incidents in the 2018 archive, so counts are presented at the city level only.
Where do these incident counts come from?
The numbers come from Greater Sudbury's official police/municipal open-data portal for Ontario. The CrimeMaps.ca page organizes those records by category and year; all counts reflect reported incidents in the 2018 archive rather than population-based rates.
How current is the Greater Sudbury data on this page?
The latest recorded incident date in this 2018 archive is Sep 3, 2018, and the earliest is Aug 5, 2018. The interactive map's 60-day rolling window also shows 110 incidents from this feed, but the page headline stays anchored to the 2018 archive total.
