Motor vehicle theft showed fluctuations but an overall downward trend. From 2 incidents in 2011 (0.53 per 1,000 people), it peaked at 5 in 2012 before decreasing to 1 in 2022 (0.23 per 1,000 people). The city's contribution to state motor vehicle theft statistics varied, reaching a high of 0.10% in 2012 before falling to 0.02% in 2022. This trend suggests improved vehicle security or more effective law enforcement strategies.

Arson cases in the city have been rare, with only one reported incident in 2012, representing 0.22% of state arson cases that year. Since then, no arson cases have been reported, indicating effective fire prevention and community safety measures.

When examining correlations, a notable relationship emerges between property crime rates and population density. As the population density increased from 663 per square mile in 2011 to 780 in 2022, property crime rates generally decreased. This inverse relationship suggests that increased urbanization may have led to improved security infrastructure and community vigilance.

Additionally, there appears to be a correlation between the decrease in property crimes and the slight increase in racial diversity. The percentage of white residents decreased from 95% in 2013 to 93% in 2022, while the percentage of residents identifying as two or more races increased from 1% to 4%. This change coincides with the overall reduction in property crimes, potentially indicating that increased diversity has contributed to a more cohesive and vigilant community.

Applying predictive models to forecast property crime trends for the next five years (up to 2029), we can anticipate a continued decrease in overall property crime rates. Based on the current trends, it's projected that the city may experience near-zero property crime incidents by 2029, with potentially less than one incident per year on average.

In summary, Lebanon Junction has demonstrated a remarkable improvement in property crime rates over the past decade, despite population growth. The significant reductions in burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft, coupled with the absence of arson cases, paint a picture of a city that has successfully enhanced its safety and security measures. The inverse relationship between population density and crime rates, along with the potential positive impact of increasing diversity, suggests that the city's growth has been accompanied by effective community-building and crime prevention strategies. As the city continues to evolve, maintaining these positive trends will be crucial for ensuring the ongoing safety and well-being of its residents.
