when we bought our first residence in Toronto, our local police dep`t gave us stats in the area we were moving into when we phoned them although you have to be able to interpret properly or ask the right questions - I think we just got confused `coz they said we had the lowest crime rate in a relatively high crime rate area or something crazy like that - don`t remember the details from 7 years ago....
I think if you Internet-search the city and "Economic development (office?)" you may get pretty good links depending on how organized the city/office is - for Winnipeg, for instance, I was able to get a pop-up of types of crime & their crime stats per neighborhood although it was hard for me to interpret as it didn`t compare it to national or even provincial stats. It was absolute numbers & change over the last year & it allowed me to compare all the neighborhoos in Winnipeg but not compare Winnipeg to anything else.
