Map of the Week: Property crime by census tract
 |
| SHUTTERSTOCK |
This week continues our census-tract-based crime map series with a look at property crime.The data came from Statistics Canada by way of the Toronto police.
The pattern is different from last week's violent crime map, though many of the top neighbourhoods are the same.
Property crime is much more diffuse than the clear pattern in last week's map. There is a concentration in the higher-density parts of the old city, with higher rates in a rough rectangle south of Dupont/O'Connor between Roncesvalles and Victoria Park. As we found with the 2008 breaking and entering map, there is no very simple and obvious connection to income.
Here is a top 20 list:
