Motor vehicle theft has been relatively rare in the city. The highest number recorded was 2 incidents in 2017, which accounted for 0.01% of the state's total. This translated to about 1.66 thefts per 1,000 residents. Like other property crimes, motor vehicle theft had reduced to zero by 2022. The low incidence of this crime type may be related to the city's small size and potentially limited targets for such theft.

Arson cases have been infrequent, with only two years (2016 and 2017) reporting any incidents. In both years, there was 1 case of arson, representing 0.12% and 0.13% of the state's total, respectively. These incidents occurred when the population was around 1,120-1,208, resulting in a rate of approximately 0.89 and 0.83 arsons per 1,000 residents in 2016 and 2017. The rarity of arson cases suggests they are isolated events rather than a persistent issue in the community.

There appears to be a correlation between property crime rates and population density. As the population density decreased from 662 per square mile in 2010 to 424 per square mile in 2022, overall property crime rates also declined. This could suggest that lower population density may contribute to reduced opportunities for property crimes.

Applying predictive models based on the available data, it's projected that property crime rates in Gideon will likely remain very low or at zero for the next five years (up to 2029). This forecast is based on the consistent downward trend observed in recent years and the current absence of reported property crimes.

In summary, Gideon has experienced a significant reduction in property crimes over the past decade, culminating in zero reported incidents across all categories by 2022. This trend, coupled with the declining population, suggests a shift in the city's safety profile. The challenge moving forward will be to maintain this low crime rate while addressing other potential socio-economic factors that may have contributed to the population decline.
