Recent trend

The dataset covers a synthetic one‑day snapshot in August 2026 that serves as a monthly placeholder, so the figures should be understood as representing the month rather than a precise day. Counts are scaled to the city’s year‑to‑date total through July, which may affect direct comparisons across periods. Additionally, neighbourhood boundaries are periodically redefined, meaning that the geographic area labelled Mercier‑Hochelaga‑Maisonneuve (PDQ 48) may not match earlier years’ definitions, a factor to consider when interpreting trends over time.
