The figures below are computed from the City of Hamilton's own published records and refreshed as the city updates them. Every section links the exact dataset it is derived from. Raw counts, not estimates; where the record is silent, the page says so.
Cyclist deaths run one or two a year: 1 in 2022, 1 in 2023, 1 in 2024, 1 in 2025. The city publishes this dataset annually, so 2026 figures do not exist here yet; until they do, the police releases on the wire are the only same-year signal.

The second most common entry is driving properly: in 52 fatal collisions the record shows no driver error at all.

From the police service's own monthly ward reports, read directly from the published PDFs. Raw counts, not per-person rates, so bigger and denser communities naturally show higher totals.

Overdose deaths. Hamilton-specific opioid mortality exists in the provincial coroner's quarterly release and Public Health Ontario's mortality reporting, but neither publishes a machine-readable feed this pipeline can re-derive on demand, and the city's own Hamilton Opioid Information System is newly launching. Until one of those yields a checkable series, these figures stay off the page rather than approximate. Fire incidents and licensed food establishments are next in the ingest queue.
