Common questions

What is the safest neighbourhood in Etobicoke, Toronto?

Edenbridge-Humber Valley has the highest SafeRoute safety index in Etobicoke, Toronto, at 85/100 (low risk), from 32 reported incidents within 1 km of its centre. Etobicoke City Centre (80/100) and Princess-Rosethorn (80/100) follow.

Which neighbourhood in Etobicoke, Toronto has the most reported crime?

Mimico-Queensway has the lowest index in Etobicoke, Toronto, at 16/100, with 721 reported incidents within 1 km of its centre. A low score means more is reported around that centre, which busy commercial and transport areas produce simply by having more people in them — it is not a measure of how dangerous a resident's street is.

Is Etobicoke, Toronto safe?

Across its 22 neighbourhoods the median SafeRoute safety index is 67/100, against 53 across Toronto. 6 rate low risk, 13 moderate, 2 elevated and 1 high risk. These describe reported crime only and vary widely within the district — check the individual neighbourhood rather than reading one number for the whole of it.

How is the SafeRoute safety index calculated?

SafeRoute weights each incident reported to the Toronto Police Service by severity (violence weighs more than shoplifting), sums the last available period within 1 km of the neighbourhood centre, and normalizes against citywide crime rates onto a 0–100 scale — higher is safer. It describes reported crime only; it is not a guarantee of safety. The figure shown for Etobicoke, Toronto is the median of its 22 neighbourhoods — the district is not measured separately.

Methodology

Each incident reported to the Toronto Police Service (Major Crime Indicators — assault, robbery, break & enter, auto theft and theft over, via the TPS Public Safety Data Portal) is weighted by severity — violence counts for more than shoplifting. For every neighbourhood we sum weighted incidents within 1 km of its centre, and normalize against citywide crime rates onto a 0–100 index, higher = safer. Boundaries are the City of Toronto's 158 official neighbourhoods, grouped under the six former municipalities (Old Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, East York and York) that people still use as districts. Time-of-day charts use TPS occurrence timestamps, severity-weighted. Pages regenerate as new data is published.

The index compares neighbourhoods within Toronto. It is not comparable between cities: each police force publishes a different set of offences over a different period — Toronto's figures cannot be read against another city's on the same 0–100 scale.
