About this data

Kitchener is the area in Waterloo Region's 2026 open-data boundary set that carries the largest YTD incident count on this page. Its total of 3,548 reported incidents through July represents 49.6% of the region-wide figure of 7,147. The selected period is the latest calendar year from the full on-disk archive, cut at the last complete month — not the 60-day map window.

The incident dates in this dataset run from March 10 to July 29, 2026. That means the counts cover a partial year and will differ from any full-year or 60-day report. The figures on this page are counts of reported incidents; they are not crime rates.

Recent trend

These counts cover 2026 year-to-date through July, with incident dates running from March 10 to July 29, 2026. The Kitchener boundary reflects the upstream open-data portal's classification, which may differ from municipal or Statistics Canada boundaries. Boundaries are approximate, and adjacent areas may overlap. Because this is a YTD cut rather than a full-year archive, the totals do not match annual summaries. The selected period is not the 60-day map window. Comparisons with earlier years should account for boundary definition changes.
