Source: Toronto Police Service, Neighbourhood Crime Rates — occurrences by the neighbourhood where they were reported, rates per 100,000 residents using the City's population estimate (22,634 for West Rouge). The five Major Crime Indicators are the first five rows; * marks the other categories the police publish. "vs city" compares the neighbourhood rate with the all-Toronto rate for the same year; "5-year change" is the change in the neighbourhood's own rate since 2020. Rates are per resident, so neighbourhoods with large daytime populations — downtown, malls, transit hubs — score higher than the risk to residents alone. Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts are also shown corner by corner on the intersection pages above.
