About this data
The map and statistics below summarise police‑reported incidents that occurred in Guelph, Ontario during July 2026. The headline figure of 485 incidents reflects the total number of calls logged in that calendar month.
These records are drawn from the City of Guelph’s official open‑data portal, which publishes monthly incident feeds released after a short processing lag. Researchers, residents and policymakers can use the data to see recent crime activity, compare it with longer‑term trends and identify which offence types are most common.
Recent trend
The dataset includes only a single year of records, so a year‑over‑year comparison for July 2026 cannot be calculated. Because the archive currently contains just the 2026 series, there is no prior full‑year figure against which to measure change. The year_series array lists a single entry for 2026 with 1,773 incidents, confirming the lack of a comparative baseline. The headline total of 485 incidents pertains only to July, while the year‑to‑date count of 1,773 incidents reflects activity from January through July.
Category breakdown
For the year‑to‑date period ending July 2026, theft is the most frequently reported offence, accounting for 896 incidents or 50.5 % of all recorded offences. Fraud follows with 342 incidents, representing 19.3 % of the total. Assault ranks third with 219 incidents, or 12.4 % of the mix. Together, these three categories comprise roughly 82 % of the reported activity. Auto theft and break‑and‑enter round out the top six, with 168 incidents (9.5 %) and 124 incidents (7 %) respectively, while robbery accounts for 24 incidents (1.4 %). No other offence type reaches double‑digit percentages, underscoring the concentration of property‑related crime. The combined violent‑crime count (assault, robbery and other personal offences) stands at 243 incidents.
