Neighbourhood Safety
Crime in the Buchanan neighbourhood has shown a notable downward trend in recent years, particularly in property and violent incidents.

The overall crime data indicates a substantial improvement in safety, though some fluctuation occurred in earlier years (e.g., property crime spiked in 2022 and 2023). The most recent 2026 figures show extremely low totals across all categories, suggesting the area is becoming much safer.
