How this was measured
Everything here is computed from open data: City of Toronto address points, building permits and neighbourhood boundaries; Toronto Police Service major crime indicators; TTC schedules; and TDSB and TCDSB school locations.
School figures are proximity only. No school rating or ranking is used anywhere on this site — a distance to a school is a verifiable fact about a location, while a school rating largely reflects the income and demographics of its catchment.
Neighbourhood character is derived from reported incident volume, severity-weighted using the Statistics Canada Crime Severity Index method, so that offences of very different seriousness are not counted as equivalent.
A note on precision for Roncesvalles. This boundary is smaller than the ~0.74 km² grid cell the measurements are computed on, so its scores are read from the cells immediately around it rather than measured inside it. The named schools, stations, stores and permits above are exact; the four ranked measures are approximate.
