Toronto Trick or Treater Trends; a YoY Hallowe’en Analysis [OC]

I hope you had a happy Hallowe’en, data-loving Redditors!

Feast your eyes on a frankly embarrassing level of data analysis into Hallowe'en night at my house; tracking 2024 vs 2025 trends.

This is an update to this data from 2024, and I've incorporated both years into a single set of visualizations.

Key Takeaways:

– 2025 Trick or Treaters visiting times were much more concentrated than 2024; potentially due to colder temperatures earlier in the day, and the impact of the Jays game later in the evening.

– Some interesting costume trends. Far more Princesses for whatever reason, as well as an explosion of girls wearing KPOP Demon Hunters costumes. A lot more boys in wizard, dinosaur, firefighter and police costumes, and fewer skeleton/skull masks. Not listed due to space was Wednesday Adams, who went from 4 in 2024 to 0 in 2025.
