Maumee, located in Ohio, presents an interesting case study for violent crime trends over the past decade. From 2013 to 2022, the total number of violent crimes in the city increased from 11 to 27, representing a 145.45% increase. During this same period, the population grew from 17,646 to 18,081, a modest 2.47% increase.
The murder rate in Maumee has remained consistently at zero throughout the observed period from 2013 to 2022. This statistic is particularly notable given the population growth and indicates a stable environment in terms of the most severe form of violent crime. The murder rate per 1,000 people has consequently remained at 0, and the city has not contributed to the state's murder statistics during this time.
Rape incidents in the city have fluctuated over the years. In 2013, there were 4 reported cases, which represented 0.22% of the state's total. By 2022, the number decreased to 3 cases, accounting for 0.08% of the state's total. The rape rate per 1,000 people decreased from 0.23 in 2013 to 0.17 in 2022, showing a slight improvement in this category of violent crime relative to population growth.
Robbery trends show an increase over time. In 2013, there were 3 reported robberies, representing 0.03% of the state's total. By 2022, this number had risen to 7, accounting for 0.13% of the state's robberies. The robbery rate per 1,000 people increased from 0.17 in 2013 to 0.39 in 2022, indicating a concerning upward trend in this type of crime.
Aggravated assault cases have seen the most significant increase among violent crimes in the city. In 2013, there were 4 reported cases, representing 0.04% of the state's total. By 2022, this number had risen dramatically to 17 cases, accounting for 0.1% of the state's aggravated assaults. The rate per 1,000 people increased from 0.23 in 2013 to 0.94 in 2022, signifying a substantial rise in this category of violent crime.
Examining correlations, there appears to be a strong relationship between the increase in violent crimes and the city's growing Hispanic population, which rose from 2% in 2013 to 6% in 2022. Additionally, the rise in violent crimes coincides with an increase in population density, which grew from 1,756 people per square mile in 2013 to 1,799 in 2022.
Applying predictive models based on the current trends, it's forecasted that by 2029 (five years from now), Maumee could see its total violent crimes reach approximately 40 incidents per year if current trends continue. This projection assumes a continued increase in population density and demographic shifts similar to those observed in recent years.
In summary, while Maumee has maintained a zero murder rate, it has experienced significant increases in other forms of violent crime, particularly aggravated assaults and robberies. These trends, coupled with demographic changes and increasing population density, suggest a need for targeted interventions to address the rising violent crime rates in the coming years.
