Deaths of People Experiencing Homelessness

Toronto Public Health (TPH) leads the data collection, analysis and reporting of deaths of people experiencing homelessness in Toronto. Toronto Shelter and Support Services (TSSS), community agencies supporting people experiencing homelessness, the Toronto Homeless Memorial, and the Office of the Chief Coroner (OCC) for Ontario contribute data to this initiative. Data sets are cross-referenced and analyzed to remove duplicates. For this data collection initiative, homelessness is defined as “the situation of an individual or family without stable, permanent, appropriate housing, or the immediate prospect, means and ability of acquiring it”. This dataset begins in 2022.

Deaths of People Experiencing Homelessness (Archival)

This dataset is retired and remains solely for archival purposes. The updated data can be found [here](https://open.toronto.ca/dataset/deaths-of-people-experiencing-homelessness/)

Starting in January 2017, Toronto Public Health (TPH) began tracking the deaths of people experiencing homelessness to get a more accurate estimate of the number of deaths and their causes.  TPH leads the data collection, analysis and reporting. The Shelter, Support and Housing Administration (SSHA) and health and social service agencies that support people experiencing homelessness share information about a death with TPH and the Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario (OCCO) verifies some of the data.  For this data collection initiative, homelessness is defined as “the situation of an individual or family without stable, permanent, appropriate housing, or the immediate prospect, means and ability of acquiring it”.

Bicycle Cordon Count: 2010, 2013, 2014

The data in this repository was collected as part of the City of Toronto Bicycle Cordon Count studies carried out in 2010, 2013 and 2014. The dataset contains information on how many cyclists are riding on specific downtown streets, when and where they are riding, and other cyclist characteristics such as gender, sidewalk riding, helmet use, and transporting passengers. The locations included form a "Cordon" around the inner downtown core, bounded by Bloor Street, Spadina Avenue, Queen's Quay and Jarvis Street. 

Counts were conducted on one or several days in each study year, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. The Cordon Count was conducted in early fall. Mid-week, good weather days were chosen to best represent typical cycling and micromobility travel patterns.

The counts are separated by date, location, and direction, and aggregated to 15-minute bins. Count summary and 15-minute volume tables are included. For each 15-minute bin, total volume and the individual volumes broken down by cyclist characteristics are provided.

The 2010 Cordon Count data was previously published on Open Data in raw format and can be found at [https://open.toronto.ca/dataset/bicycle-count-and-locations/](https://open.toronto.ca/dataset/bicycle-count-and-locations/). The 2013 and 2014 data have not previously been published. 

The cordon count was restarted in 2022 and the data can be found at [2022 Bicycle and Micromobility Cordon Count] (https://open.toronto.ca/dataset/bicycle-and-micromobility-cordon-count-2022).

Bicycle and Micromobility Cordon Count

The data in this repository were collected as part of the 2022 Toronto Micromobility Cordon and Classification Count. The dataset contains information on how many cyclists and micromobility users are riding on specific downtown streets, when and where they are riding, and other characteristics such as device type, apparent trip purpose, and whether they are riding in a bicycle lane, in mixed-traffic, or on the sidewalk.

Seven screenlines that together make up two cordon boundaries were included in the study. The inner cordon is bounded by Bloor Street, Spadina Avenue, Queen's Quay and Jarvis Street. The outer cordon is bounded by Dufferin Street, the CP Rail Corridor (mostly parallel with Dupont Street), the Don River, and Lake Ontario. A few additional count locations not on cordon boundaries were also included to capture key high-volume locations. 

Each cordon was counted on a single day, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. The Cordon Count was conducted in early fall. Mid-week, good weather days were chosen to best represent typical weekday cycling and micromobility travel patterns.

The counts are separated by date, location, and direction of travel. A count summary table, a table of disaggregated counts and classifications, and a classification dictionary table are included. The data are fully anonymous.

A report on the findings of the 2022 Bicycle and Micromobility Cordon Count is available at [Cycling Data, Events & Programs](https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/streets-parking-transportation/cycling-in-toronto/cycling-events-and-programs).

Previous iterations of the study can be found at [Bicycle Cordon Count: 2010, 2013, 2014](https://open.toronto.ca/dataset/bicycle-cordon-count-2010-2013-2014).

Street Furniture - Automated Public Washroom

Toronto’s automated public toilets were first introduced in 2008. The automated public toilet is activated by inserting a $0.25 coin or token. Each unit is single occupancy and a patron has up to 20 minutes per use, with the time clearly communicated through a three-step audible warning process and a visual blinking light. After each patron exits, the unit will seal itself and begin a self-cleaning cycle. The unit is equipped with several sensors, and the cleaning procedure will not start if a patron is detected.  
  
The automated public toilets are regularly maintained, with service personnel visiting the unit multiple times per day. The public can also request a maintenance call by dialing the phone number posted on the wall of the public toilet. The public toilet is well-lit both inside and out, and offers barrier-free access. The are open seasonally, generally from the beginning of April to the end of October.

Site and area Specific policies

Site and Area Specific Policies have been completed to reflect the December 2025 Official Plan Consolidation. 

**Note**: The Site Area and Specific Policies shapefile does contain polygons which are intended to overlap as the policy areas are not mutually exclusive. The drawing order of polygons is software-dependent and cannot be controlled by City Planning when preparing the shapefile. It is suggested to change the styling of the polygons to be outlines only with no fill. This will allow users to view the overlapping polygons, as they will not completely cover one another.

•	Board<br>
•	Chief of Police<br>
•	Priority Response Command<br>

Neighbourhood Crime Rates

This dataset includes the Crime Data by Neighbourhood. Counts are available for Assault, Auto Theft, Break and Enter, Robbery, Theft Over, Homicide and Shooting & Firearm Discharges. Data also includes the crime rate per 100,000 population calculated using the population estimates provided by Environics Analytics.

Following the standard definition by StatsCan, crime rate is calculated as the crime count per 100,000 population* per year. This metric facilitates the comparisons of crime between geographic areas with different size of populations. Comparing to crime count, crime rate provides a fairer comparison of the crime over time by taking into account the change in population in the region.

Note: Fields have been included for the new 158 City of Toronto Neighbourhoods structure 

*Population figures reflect only the resident population of a region. The temporary population such as the commuters and business patrons are not included.
