Interestingly, the city reported no motor vehicle thefts or arsons in 2021. This absence of incidents is particularly noteworthy given the population growth and could suggest effective preventive measures or community vigilance in these areas.

When examining correlations between property crime trends and other socioeconomic factors, a few patterns emerge. The city's population density increased from 433 people per square mile in 2010 to 527 in 2022, a 21.7% rise. This growth aligns closely with the overall population increase.

The median income in the city has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a low of $33,742 in 2014 to a high of $46,984 in 2016. In 2022, the median income was $37,600. The variability in income does not appear to have a clear correlation with the reported property crime figures.

Home ownership rates have remained relatively stable, ranging from 68% to 77% between 2013 and 2022. The 2022 rate of 77% suggests a high level of community investment, which could contribute to lower property crime rates.

Racial demographics show that the city has become increasingly homogeneous, with the white population growing from 81% in 2015 to 90% in 2022. The Hispanic population decreased from 12% in 2013 to 4% in 2022.

Predicting future property crime trends for the city is challenging due to the limited data available. However, if current patterns hold, we might expect property crimes to remain relatively low over the next five years, potentially fluctuating between 5 to 10 incidents annually by 2029. This projection assumes continued population growth and stable socioeconomic conditions.

In summary, Altoona exhibits a remarkably low property crime rate, with larceny-theft being the primary concern. The city's growing population, stable home ownership rates, and changing demographics provide context for these crime figures. The overall low crime numbers suggest a relatively safe community environment.
