Motor vehicle theft trends in Lanett have been more volatile but ultimately showed a decrease. From 26 incidents in 2010, the number peaked at 66 in 2016 before declining to 21 in 2022, representing a 19.2% decrease over the entire period. The rate per 1,000 residents decreased from 3.21 in 2010 to 2.59 in 2022. Lanett's share of state motor vehicle thefts decreased slightly from 0.44% in 2010 to 0.31% in 2022, suggesting that the city's improvement in this area was roughly in line with state trends.

Arson data for Lanett is limited, with only one reported incident in 2022, representing 0.19% of state arson cases. Due to the lack of historical data, it is not possible to draw meaningful conclusions about arson trends over time.

Examining correlations between property crime trends and demographic factors reveals some interesting patterns. As the median income increased from $29,000 in 2013 to $39,915 in 2022, there was a corresponding decrease in property crimes. This suggests a potential inverse relationship between economic well-being and property crime rates. Additionally, the percentage of owner-occupied housing increased from 59% in 2013 to 66% in 2022, which coincided with the decrease in property crimes, potentially indicating that higher rates of home ownership may contribute to lower crime rates.

Racial demographics in Lanett also shifted during this period, with the Black population increasing from 54% in 2013 to 62% in 2022, while the White population decreased from 43% to 29%. This demographic shift occurred alongside the overall decrease in property crimes, though it is important to note that correlation does not imply causation.

Applying predictive models to forecast property crime trends suggests that if current patterns continue, Lanett could see a further reduction in property crimes over the next five years. By 2029, total property crimes could potentially decrease to around 120-140 incidents annually, with burglaries potentially dropping to 20-25, larceny-theft to 80-100, and motor vehicle theft to 15-20 incidents per year.

In summary, Lanett has experienced a significant overall reduction in property crimes from 2010 to 2022, with improvements across all categories of property crime. This positive trend has occurred against a backdrop of stable population growth, increasing median income, and higher rates of home ownership. While demographic shifts have been observed, the relationship between these changes and crime rates requires further study. If current trends continue, the city may see further reductions in property crime rates in the coming years, potentially enhancing the quality of life for its residents.
