How to cite this site

For reporters, students and researchers using a figure from Toronto Up Close.

Suggested credit

Give the data date. Every page footer shows the day the data was last rebuilt, and how current each source is shows when the City last updated each one.
Name the City as the source. Each figure links to the City's own page for it. That page is the record, so check it before you publish.

Police figures

They are reports made to Toronto Police, not proven crimes. Write "reported" or "reports to police".
Do not compare them with Statistics Canada's crime figures. Statistics Canada counts differently, so the two do not line up.
Small numbers jump around by chance. Each police figure here comes with a likely range; quote the range for a small area.
We never call an area safe or unsafe, and we would ask you not to cite us as saying so.
