About this data
Guelph's 2026 year-to-date data page summarises reported incidents from the official open-data crime feed on Ontario's municipal open-data portal. The selected period is 2026 (YTD, through Jul): the latest calendar year in the on-disk archive, cut at the last complete month. This gives a fuller picture than the map's rolling 60-day window, which currently shows 820 incidents. The page covers 1,753 total incidents, the top incident categories, and a neighbourhood breakdown where the source supplies one.
Using the year-to-date view rather than a short map slice places category and neighbourhood counts in a calendar context — important because Guelph's reported incidents are distributed across theft, fraud, assault, auto theft, break and enter, and robbery so far in 2026. The figures are drawn from open-data records, so they reflect reported incidents that appear on the public layer, not an independently audited total.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for 2026 (YTD, through Jul). The available year series contains only 2026 (1,753 incidents), so there is no complete prior-year baseline to calculate a same-period comparison. Because this is a year-to-date snapshot through July, the 1,753 total should be read as a partial-year figure rather than an annual total. No percentage change is reported for this period, and the data do not support a directional claim about whether incidents are rising or falling.
Category breakdown
For 2026 (YTD, through Jul), Theft is the leading category on Guelph's open-data layer, with 886 reported incidents and 50.5% of the 1,753 total. Fraud is the second most common category at 334 incidents (19.1%). Assault ranks third with 219 incidents, or 12.5% of the total. Auto theft follows at 168 incidents (9.6%), break and enter at 122 incidents (7%), and robbery at 24 incidents (1.4%). These six rows make up the full top-category set for the period; no 'Other' bucket appears ahead of them.
FAQ
How many incidents were reported in Guelph during 2026 so far?
Guelph’s 2026 year-to-date open-data records, through July, total 1,753 incidents. The records range from March 10 to July 29, 2026, and this is not a 60-day map figure. Because the year is still open, this total is partial, not a full annual count.
What type of incident is most common in Guelph’s 2026 open data?
Theft is the most frequently recorded category, with 886 incidents, or 50.5% of the 1,753 year-to-date total. Fraud is next at 334 (19.1%), followed by Assault at 219 (12.5%). Theft therefore accounts for more than half the recorded incidents in the 2026 YTD layer.
How do 2026 totals compare with previous years?
Year-over-year change is not available for this period. The archive used for this page contains only 2026 records in the year series (1,753 incidents), so there is no complete prior year to compare against. The 2026 figure is a year-to-date total through July, not a full calendar year.
Which neighbourhood in Guelph has the most incidents so far in 2026?
The Guelph layer attributes all 1,753 recorded incidents to a single GUELPH area, so no smaller neighbourhood-level distribution is published in this feed. The interactive map and year totals use the same city-wide attribution. If you need ward-level or street-level detail, it is not present in this open-data source.
Where does Guelph’s incident data come from?
Figures come from the official open-data feed for Guelph on Ontario’s police/municipal portal, reflecting incidents reported and recorded by police. The 2026 year-to-date dataset contains 1,753 dated records, with each incident assigned a date. The source groups incidents into categories such as Theft, Fraud, Assault, Auto theft, Break and enter, and Robbery.
How current is the data on this page?
The latest included record is dated July 29, 2026, making this page current through July 2026 (YTD). By comparison, the interactive map’s rolling 60-day window currently shows 820 incidents — a shorter lookback than the year-to-date total of 1,753.
