These are counts, not rates. A larger or denser neighbourhood has more homes, so a higher count does not automatically mean each household is at higher risk. Small counts also move around from year to year, and a change of a few incidents is normal noise. With 56 incidents, Banbury-Don Mills sits above the middle of the pack: the median Toronto neighbourhood had 18.5.

What to do about it

Most reported break-ins here were at houses, so start with every way in, not just the front door.

  • Cover the front door and porch. A video doorbell shows who is at the door and records deliveries and visitors.
  • Don't forget the side and back. A battery or solar outdoor camera can watch a back door, garage side door or yard without new wiring.
  • Make it look occupied. Lights on timers, no piled-up mail, and tidy entrances.

A camera doesn't stop a break-in by itself. It lets you see what is happening and keeps a recording.

About this data

Source. Toronto Police Service, Major Crime Indicators open data, published under the Open Government Licence – Ontario.

What is counted. Break and enter (B&E) incidents at houses and apartments, by the year they occurred, for 2025 and 2024. The data is preliminary and may be revised, and incident locations are offset to the nearest intersection, so neighbourhood counts are approximate. Police advise not comparing these figures with other crime data sources.

How to read it. Rankings, the median and percentages are our own calculations from this data. Households are from the 2021 Census. MkaeSense is not affiliated with Toronto Police Service, and this is general information, not a prediction for any home or street.
