It has been a while since I’ve posted any of the neighbourhood burglary statistics…. in keeping with tradition, the first graph compares the total number of burglaries on the Westside (the yellow line) against the percentage of burglaries in the whole city that occurred on the Westside (the blue bars).

As you can see, it has been pretty quiet (by comparison) on the Westside for the last few months… which certainly corresponds with our own experience. While we have been kept relatively busy with commercial burglaries, and attempted burglaries, over the past three months… it has been unusually inactive on the residential front.
In fact, April 2007 had the lowest recorded number of burglaries on the Westside (201) since I have been keeping track… which is since January 2002.
However, burglaries have been a little down across the city… the total number of reported burglaries in the entire city in April 2007 was 611, which was the lowest since February 2006. As a percentage of total burglaries in the city though, the Westside has remained fairly consistent with about a third of all burglaries in the city happening here. (I wonder who was in jail over the past couple months to account for the change).
Below I have attached some neighbourhood specific graphs showing total number of burglaries per month…

As always, these statistics are all courtesy of the Vancouver Police Department. The map below shows how the city divides each neighbourhood… anytime that I have referenced neighbourhood specific burglary stats on this blog, it corresponds to the following….
