Canadian University Safety Rankings 2026

Universities are ranked in two separate pools by data type: point-level police records within 3 km of campus, and area-level official counts where no point-level data is published. The two pools use different methodologies and are never mixed. Area-level scores use a fixed absolute scale per data source (red = above twice that source's typical area rate), so they are not comparable across sources or countries. How scores work →

Point-level data rankings

Area-statistics rankings

Ranked by weighted incidents per 100,000 residents across the whole administrative area (local government area in Australia, census metropolitan area in Canada, police agency jurisdiction in the US, district / Landkreis in Germany, commune in France, ward/city in Tokyo, metropolitan province in South Korea). This is a separate statistical pool — its scores are not comparable with point-level scores.
