🛡️ Is Olympic Village safe?

Olympic Village is in the busier half of Vancouver by raw count, and most of what gets reported is property crime rather than violence against people. Normal city sense covers it: lock the car and leave nothing on the seats.

Mount Pleasant: 2,176 reported crimes, up 14% on the year before; rank 5 of 24 by raw count, 7% of the city total. Theft from vehicles: 253; offences against a person: 130. Busiest block: the 2300 block of Cambie Street (342 reports).

VPD counts Olympic Village as part of Mount Pleasant; the figures cover the whole neighbourhood.

Source: Vancouver Police Department open crime data, September 2025 to August 2026, compared with the 12 months before. Raw counts, not per-resident rates — busy shopping and nightlife areas report more because more people pass through them.

☕ Breakfast / coffee (honest shortlist)

• Athletes Way cafes — Neighbourhood pace.
