Recent trend

Data for Pickering City Centre cover a synthetic snapshot representing August 2026, derived from the latest exact occurrence day that fell within seven days of the data ingest. Because the upstream source aggregates incidents at the neighbourhood level, the boundaries used to define Pickering City Centre can shift between reporting years as municipal delineations are updated. Consequently, direct year‑over‑year comparisons should consider possible changes in the spatial definition of the area, which may affect incident totals and therefore influence observed patterns.
