Auto Crime: How Your Neighbourhood Compares
 
Vancouver Sun | News | Auto Crime | Neighbourhood Map

From today's Vancouver Sun:

The interactive map below shows which neighbourhoods have the highest auto crime rates per capita, based on postal code areas and total auto crimes from 2010 to 2012. Select type of crime from the dropdown menu at the bottom. Click on a neighbourhood for more details. Some neighbourhoods with low populations will show high rates of auto crime despite few actual incidents. The map displays neighbourhoods in Metro Vancouver but you can view the whole province by zooming out. Postal code areas are copyright of the Canada Post Corporation.

Knew it.

I know it's stolen vehicles per 100k residents - but some of those areas on the island - had 4 cars stolen last year - and that was enough to skew the results and make it 2nd worst in the province!

Sea Island has 785 residents - they have an average of 2 cars stolen - and that makes it good enough to be 20th in the list.

Sloppy work. This tells us nothing we didn't know.

Fake reporting.

Yeah, I don't put much stock in the ranking, I'm looking more at the absolute numbers (i.e. how many cars stolen, etc...).

On the bottom left you can also change the crime type. Not surprising Metrotown area has huge break-in numbers.

The papers should stick to what they do best:

1. Skimming Vancitybuzz's Twitter feed.
2. Condo developer press releases.
3. 30 pages of car advertisements.
4. Articles about how much the Canucks suck.

RS is now maturing... I've been noticing the trend in other threads as well :QQ:

SpeedStars 09-29-2013 01:02 PM

South Van :pokerface: it's almost like Surrey. Almost.
edit: Also surprised at there were 50 vehicles stolen in the middle of nowhere :derp:

Spoiler!

Marshall Placid 09-29-2013 02:08 PM

Interesting and useful.

Just corroborates what I assumed (which is very good news).

urrh 09-29-2013 02:49 PM

so do bikes and skateboards and shit count? or is it just motorized vehicles?

Speed2K 09-29-2013 05:37 PM

Bikes & skateboards, probably not since the numbers are from ICBC. Motorcycles, probably!

Statistically at least for stolen vehicles, one of the better spots in the region.

Overall, I am pretty impressed with the reduction of crimes (at least those provided). Even in areas with higher numbers, everything has seemed to reduced fairly significantly in 10 years.
