Lowry City, Missouri, a small community with a population of 759 in 2022, has experienced fluctuations in property crime rates over the years. The total number of property crimes reported has been inconsistent, with 2 incidents recorded in 2010, 2012, and 2018, and no reported incidents in other years with available data. This sporadic pattern makes it challenging to identify a clear trend. Meanwhile, the population has shown modest growth, increasing from 685 in 2010 to 759 in 2022, representing a 10.8% increase over this period.
Burglary trends in the city have been minimal, with only one year (2012) showing any reported incidents. In 2012, there were 2 burglaries, representing 0.01% of the state's total burglaries. This translates to a rate of approximately 2.81 burglaries per 1,000 residents for that year. Given the lack of reported burglaries in other years, it's difficult to establish a meaningful trend or relationship with population changes.
Larceny-theft incidents have been equally sparse, with only two reported cases in the available data: 2 incidents in 2010 and 2 in 2018. These occurrences translate to rates of approximately 2.92 and 2.69 incidents per 1,000 residents in 2010 and 2018, respectively. The percentage of state larceny-theft for these incidents was reported as 0%, likely due to the city's small size relative to the state's overall crime statistics.
Motor vehicle theft and arson have shown no reported incidents throughout the years for which data is available. This absence of reports suggests that these types of property crimes are not significant concerns for the community, at least based on the provided statistics.
Given the limited and sporadic nature of the property crime data, it's challenging to establish strong correlations with other socioeconomic factors such as population density, median income, or ownership percentages. The inconsistent reporting and low numbers make it difficult to draw meaningful conclusions about relationships between these variables and property crime trends in Lowry City.
Predicting future property crime trends for the city is particularly challenging due to the limited and inconsistent data available. However, based on the historical pattern of low and sporadic crime reports, it's reasonable to project that property crime rates will likely remain low over the next seven years (up to 2029, which we'll consider as five years from now for this analysis). The city may continue to experience occasional incidents of larceny-theft or burglary, but these are likely to remain infrequent and not indicative of a larger trend.
In summary, Lowry City appears to have a relatively low and inconsistent rate of property crime. The most notable observations are the occasional incidents of burglary and larceny-theft, with no reported motor vehicle thefts or arsons. While the limited data makes it difficult to identify clear trends or correlations, the overall picture suggests a community with infrequent property crime occurrences. As the city continues to grow, maintaining vigilance and community-based crime prevention strategies could help ensure that property crime rates remain low in the future.
