But as I spent more time here, I heard it from more and more people. Everyone seemed to have the same opinion: stay away from the area, it has a high crime rate.
While it is true that there is crime in Jane and Finch, the crime rates have increased in several areas around North York as well. There were around 703 shootings between 2009 and 2018. But the total amount of shootings has significantly reduced since then.Originally inhabited by the First Nations Tribe in the 1400s, it was soon replaced by the English and Scottish families in the 1820s.
