About this data
Wingham's 2018 open-data page summarizes 138 reported incidents recorded in the community's official police/municipal open-data feed for Ontario. The records carry dates from April 19 to July 16, 2018, making this a concentrated snapshot of reported activity rather than a full 12-month series. The figures come from an official open-data source, so they reflect incidents as reported and published, not estimated or modelled counts.
These 2018 totals offer a baseline for the mix of incident types in Wingham, from the broad Other category that makes up most records to smaller counts of theft, mischief, assault, auto theft, and break and enter. The interactive map adds a separate rolling 60-day view that currently holds 90 incidents, which is distinct from the annual 2018 total. No population data is used here, so these are incident counts, not crime rates.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for the 2018 period: this archive's year series contains only 2018, with 138 dated incidents, so there is no complete prior-year count to compare against. The 138 figure is the headline total for 2018 and should not be confused with the interactive map's 60-day window, which shows 90 incidents over a rolling two months. All 138 records include dates.
Category breakdown
In Wingham's 2018 open-data archive, the broad Other category dominates with 116 incidents, or 84.1% of the year's 138 total.

What was the year‑over‑year change in incident counts for Wingham?
Year‑over‑year change information is not available for the 2018 reporting period, as the dataset does not include a comparable prior‑year total for this city. The archive only contains the single year 2018 for Wingham, so a YoY percentage cannot be calculated.
Why aren’t neighbourhood‑level crime numbers shown for Wingham?
Neighbourhood‑level breakdowns are not provided for Wingham because the source data does not contain incident counts by neighbourhood; consequently the top_neighbourhoods list is empty and no neighbourhood statistics can be generated. Readers looking for granular geographic patterns will need to consult alternative datasets or contact the municipal data portal for more detailed information.
What is the source of the crime data for Wingham?
The incident data for Wingham come from the official police or municipal open‑data portal for Ontario, as no specific police service is listed in the source metadata. These portals publish aggregated counts of reported incidents and are the primary source for the CrimeMaps.ca visualisations.
