THUNDER BAY — The overall crime rate in Thunder Bay decreased from last year and while the crime severity remained relatively unchanged, the city still ranks far above the national average.
“The consecutive increases recorded in the overall Crime Severity Index may indicate a return to the upward trend in crime observed before the start of the pandemic,” the Statistics Canada report reads. The crime severity index for Canada in 2022 was 78.1 per 100,000 people while the overall crime rate was 5,668. In the city of Thunder Bay, the crime severity index was 103.5 per 100,000 people, with the increase over last year rounded to zero.
Only New Brunswick, Yukon, and Nunavut saw decreases over last year in the crime severity index, while Manitoba saw the largest increase at 14 per cent. Nationally, Indigenous and racialized Canadians are more likely to be victims of homicides. The homicide rate for Indigenous people in Canada was 10.98 per 100,000 people in 2022, which is nearly seven times higher than the non-Indigenous population.
