🚨

Ranked by the 2025 Toronto Crime Score — a severity-weighted composite of reported incidents per 100,000 residents, where higher means more reported crime relative to population. Homicide and shooting incidents carry the heaviest weight, so a neighborhood with rare but severe violent events can rank high even with modest overall crime volume — the context line on each entry states both facts. Every rank below is from the same 2025 dataset (updated 2026-02-02); the list refreshes automatically whenever the dataset updates.

A high score reflects reported incidents, not a verdict about the people who live there. Statistics reflect reported crime only, and commercial/entertainment areas can show elevated rates due to larger daytime populations.
