A Note on Downtown Communities
Downtown communities like the Beltline (6,955 incidents), Downtown Commercial Core (4,798), and Downtown East Village (2,294) have the highest raw incident counts in Calgary. This reflects the density and activity level of urban cores everywhere — not necessarily a reflection of residential safety for people who live there. Many of Calgary's most sought-after condo markets are in these communities.
