Crime in Daniel McIntyre has fluctuated over the years, with property and violent incidents peaking in 2022-2023. However, 2026 data shows a dramatic decline across all categories: property crime dropped 92.4% to 55 incidents, violent crime fell 93.0% to 36 incidents, and drug-related incidents plunged 95.5%.

This sharp improvement in 2026 suggests recent safety interventions may be taking effect. While past years saw concerning highs, the trend is now strongly positive.

954 Banning Street is well-suited for families and commuters due to its proximity to multiple schools (including St. Edward's and Daniel McIntyre Collegiate), ample transit routes, and nearby parks and everyday amenities.

The dramatic drop in crime in 2026 also makes the area increasingly attractive for first-time buyers and investors looking for an up-and-coming neighbourhood with improving safety and solid urban convenience.
