These figures count all police-reported breaking and entering, which includes businesses as well as homes. Rates let you compare places of different sizes, but a small population, as in the territories, means a few incidents can move the rate a lot.
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
Source. Statistics Canada, Table 35-10-0177-01, Incident-based crime statistics, by detailed violations.
What is counted. Counts are all police-reported breaking and entering incidents, which include businesses as well as homes, by year. Rates are incidents per 100,000 people, so places of different sizes can be compared. Statistics Canada does not split these by home or business in this table. Territories have small populations, so a handful of incidents can move their rates a lot.
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.
