What does this mean for me?

Public safety in Burlington

The useful question is not “is there crime.” It is which numbers are city-level, which are regional, and which categories actually moved.

Direct answer

Burlington does not get its own Crime Severity Index. The clean comparison is Halton: CSI 31.2 in 2024, far below Hamilton and Toronto. In 2025 Halton property crime and auto theft fell; fraud and theft over $5,000 rose. This hub does not rank neighbourhoods.
