Neighbourhood Safety
Crime in Dufferin has shown a volatile but generally improving trend in recent years. Violent incidents peaked at 203 in 2021 but have since declined to 132 in 2025, a 35% drop. Property crime also decreased from a high of 376 in 2021 to 252 in 2025.
Preliminary 2026 data shows a dramatic reduction to only 12 other incidents, 17 property incidents, and 9 violent incidents, far below any year in the dataset. However, caution is warranted as 2026 data is partial (year-to-date).
Who Is This Home For
This property is well-suited for families and first-time buyers due to its proximity to multiple schools, parks, and a clinic within walking distance. The recent downward crime trend and good transit access to a supermarket and schools add to its appeal.
Investors may also find potential as the neighborhood shows signs of recovery in safety, but the higher historical crime rates warrant careful consideration. It is less ideal for retirees seeking a very quiet area, but the improving safety and park access are positive factors.
