About this data
Centre‑ville (Ville‑Marie Ouest) (PDQ 20) recorded 723 reported incidents in the latest dataset, representing about 5.4 % of Montreal’s total of 13,407 incidents. The count is scaled to the city’s year‑to‑date totals through July, enabling a direct share comparison. This central downtown area is one of the city’s most densely populated neighbourhoods.
The figures cover incidents logged for August 2026, the most recent month available from the municipal open‑data portal. Because the source only supplies month‑level dates, the period is described as August 2026 rather than a specific day. Overall, the neighbourhood’s incident count reflects activity up to the end of July, with the latest day added for completeness.
Recent trend
The dataset captures every police‑recorded incident that occurred in the neighbourhood during August 2026, and it is aligned with the city‑wide year‑to‑date totals through July 2026. The open‑data feed aggregates reports on a daily basis, but the timestamp granularity is limited to month‑level, so the period is reported as August 2026. Users should note that neighbourhood boundaries are periodically revised by the municipal data portal, which can affect longitudinal comparisons across years. Consequently, the incident totals may not be directly comparable to earlier years that used different boundary sets or included additional months, and researchers should treat the figures as a snapshot rather than a precise annual series.
