All 34 boroughs and cities, ranked by number reported
Each bar is one area. Larger and denser areas have more homes, so a higher count does not mean each household is at higher risk. Hover or tap to read the numbers.
What is counted
These figures combine homes and businesses, because the published neighbourhood totals are not split. Areas with many shops and offices will show higher counts.

Ranked by 2025 count. These are counts, not rates: larger and denser areas have more homes, so a higher count does not mean each household is at higher risk.
What to do about it
Whether you own or rent, the basics are the same: see who is at your door, cover the back and sides, and make the home look occupied.
- Start with the door. A video doorbell shows who is there and records visitors and deliveries.
- Cover the other entrances. A battery or solar camera can watch a back door, garage or yard without new wiring.
- Check the rules if you rent. Read your lease or building rules before mounting anything.
A camera doesn't stop a break-in by itself. It lets you see what is happening and keeps a recording.

What the totals don't show
We dug further into the data. Only 1 in 6 Canadian break-ins leads to a charge, about half of home burglaries need no force, and Friday is the peak day in Toronto, Chicago and New York.
About this data
What is counted. Counts are crimes Montreal police recorded in the “Introduction” category, which is break and enter, by the date they occurred. They include businesses and other buildings as well as homes, so they are not residential-only. Areas are the island's 19 Montreal boroughs and its 15 other cities, which the same police service covers. Locations are moved to the nearest intersection for privacy, and 487 incidents in 2025 and 488 in 2024 had no usable location, so they are in the island totals but not in the area rows. The data is updated regularly and can be revised.
How to read it. These figures cover crimes reported to police, not every crime that happens. Rankings, medians and changes are our own calculations from the published data, and a change from one year to the next can reflect reporting practices as well as real trends. MkaeSense is not affiliated with the data publisher, and this is general information, not a prediction for any home or street.
