About this data
This page covers Markham's open-data incident counts for 2026 (YTD, through July), drawn from the York Regional Police open-data layer for York Region. The headline total is 5,889 reported incidents in the selected period, taken from the full archived city dataset rather than the rolling interactive map window. The map's 60-day view currently shows 1,349 incidents; the year-to-date figures below put those records in longer context.
The page is useful for seeing which offence types and neighbourhood areas account for the most reported activity in Markham in 2026 so far. Counts are incident totals, not crime rates or per-capita measures, and they reflect what is reported to police and published in open data. As part of the York Region feed, Markham's page sits alongside sibling municipalities such as Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and Newmarket, all using the same York Regional Police source.
Recent trend
Across complete calendar years in the open-data archive, Markham's annual total rose from 8,265 in 2021 to 9,887 in 2022, then 11,577 in 2023, before easing to 10,538 in 2024. The 2025 total of 10,697 is 1.5% higher than 2024, a modest increase rather than a sharp shift. The 5,889 incidents for 2026 (YTD, through July) cover only part of the year, so the current-year figure should not be read as an annual total. Full-archive reporting from 2021 through 2026 stands at 56,994 incidents.
Category breakdown
Theft is the most reported category in Markham's 2026 YTD open data, with 1,754 incidents (29.8%). The second-largest category is Other, at 1,223 incidents (20.8%); the source groups a wide mix of offence types there. Fraud follows with 881 incidents (15%), and assault is the next specific category at 766 (13%). Because Other is one of the top categories, it is worth noting how it breaks down: across the full 2021–2026 archive, the leading slice is Threats, with 2,422 records (20.8% of Other and 4.2% of the full-archive total). Those threats and harassment counts are person offences in the open data, not physical assault and not residual 'miscellaneous' crime.
FAQ
How many incidents were recorded in Markham in 2026 so far?
Markham's 2026 open-data incident count is 5,889 year-to-date through July. This is a partial-year total, not a full 2026 annual figure and not the 60-day map window. Theft, Other, Fraud, and Assault are the four most-reported categories in this period, with theft accounting for 1,754 incidents (29.8%). The interactive map's most recent 60-day slice shows 1,349 incidents separately.
What is the most common incident type in Markham's 2026 data?
Theft is the most-reported category in Markham's 2026 YTD data, with 1,754 incidents (29.8%) out of 5,889. It is followed by Other (1,223), Fraud (881), Assault (766), Mischief (469), and Break and enter (301). The Other category includes threats and harassment as person offences, not unexplained residual crime.
How do 2025 incident counts compare with 2024 in Markham?
For complete calendar years in the archive, Markham's incidents rose 1.5% from 10,538 in 2024 to 10,697 in 2025. The full archive shows 8,265 (2021), 9,887 (2022), 11,577 (2023), 10,538 (2024), 10,697 (2025). A year-over-year change for 2026 is not available because the current year is still in progress (YTD through July).
Which Markham neighbourhoods show the highest incident counts in 2026?
Among the 14 neighbourhoods published in the 2026 YTD open-data layer, Markham Hagerman has the highest count at 770 incidents, followed by Milliken West (722), Markham East (645), Markham 16th (639), and Markham Village (508). These are incident counts for the year-to-date period through July.
Where does this Markham data come from?
The incident figures come from York Regional Police open data, split out for Markham as part of the regional York Region feed. These are reported open-data incident counts for Markham. Other municipalities in the same regional hub include Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Newmarket, Aurora, Georgina, East Gwillimbury, Whitchurch-Stouffville, and King.
How current is the 2026 Markham data?
The headline total of 5,889 is current through July 2026 (year-to-date), because 2026 is still in progress. The source archive's latest available occurrence date in the system is August 14, 2026, so records published after July appear in later refreshes. The interactive map's separate 60-day rolling view shows 1,349 incidents; that slice is not the same as the year-to-date headline.
