Crime in Dufferin has shown an overall improving trend in recent years. Violent incidents dropped from 203 in 2021 to 131 in 2023, and property crime fell from 376 in 2021 to 276 in 2023. 2025 data continues this decrease with 132 violent and 252 property incidents.

However, 2024 saw a slight uptick in violent crime (147) and drug offenses (17), and the 2026 partial data shows very low numbers (9 violent, 17 property) but represents an incomplete year. The long-term trend remains positive.

450 Stella Avenue is a strong option for families and first-time buyers given the proximity to multiple schools and parks. Convenient transit access to supermarkets and healthcare makes it suitable for commuters as well.

Investors may be wary of the historically high crime rates, though the improving safety trend is encouraging. Retirees might find the area less ideal due to the still-elevated crime numbers relative to city averages.
