Motor vehicle theft in Sandersville has shown less consistent trends. From 9 incidents in 2010, it decreased to 4 in 2022, a 56% reduction. The rate per 1,000 residents decreased from 0.97 in 2010 to 0.41 in 2022. However, the city's share of state motor vehicle thefts has been volatile, ranging from 0.03% in 2011 to 0.33% in 2019, before settling at 0.04% in 2022.

Arson cases in the city have been sporadic, with many years reporting zero incidents. The highest number of arsons reported was 1 in several years, including 2021. The city's share of state arsons has fluctuated significantly, reaching as high as 0.5% in 2020.

Examining correlations, there appears to be an inverse relationship between property crime rates and median income. As median income increased from $31,807 in 2013 to $39,760 in 2016, property crime decreased from 289 to 276 incidents. However, as median income began to decline after 2016, reaching $34,889 in 2022, property crime continued to decrease, suggesting other factors at play.

Applying predictive models based on the current trends, it's projected that by 2029, property crime rates in Sandersville could potentially decrease further to around 15-20 incidents per year, assuming current socioeconomic conditions and law enforcement strategies remain consistent.

In summary, Sandersville has made remarkable progress in reducing property crime rates across all categories over the past decade, outpacing its population growth. The most significant reductions were seen in burglary and larceny-theft, while motor vehicle theft and arson showed more variable patterns. These trends, coupled with changes in median income, suggest a complex interplay of economic and social factors influencing crime rates in the city.
