Motor vehicle theft in the city has been rare, with only one incident reported in 2018. This translates to a rate of 1.09 per 1,000 residents for that year. In all other years from 2017 to 2022, no motor vehicle thefts were reported. The city's contribution to state motor vehicle theft statistics has been negligible, with only 0.01% in 2018. This low incidence of motor vehicle theft suggests effective vehicle security measures or a community environment less conducive to this type of crime.

Arson incidents have been consistently absent in the city from 2017 to 2022, with no reported cases. Consequently, the arson rate per 1,000 residents and the city's contribution to state arson statistics have remained at zero throughout this period. This absence of arson cases is a positive indicator for public safety and property protection in the community.

Examining correlations between property crime trends and socioeconomic factors reveals interesting patterns. The city's population density increased from 1,045 per square mile in 2017 to 1,098 in 2022, while median income rose from $45,735 to $52,777 over the same period. Notably, as income increased, property crime rates generally decreased, suggesting a potential inverse relationship between economic prosperity and property crime incidence. However, the percentage of owner-occupied housing units decreased from 77% in 2017 to 54% in 2022, which doesn't appear to have a strong correlation with the overall decreasing trend in property crimes.

Applying predictive models to forecast property crime trends for the next five years (up to 2029) suggests a continued decline in overall property crime rates. Based on the current trends, we can anticipate that burglary rates may stabilize at around 1 incident per year or potentially decrease further. Larceny theft is projected to remain low, possibly with sporadic incidents not exceeding 1-2 per year. Motor vehicle theft and arson are expected to remain rare or non-existent, barring any significant changes in local conditions.

In conclusion, Olustee has demonstrated a generally positive trend in property crime reduction over the examined period. The decrease in various property crime categories, particularly in the context of a growing population and increasing median income, suggests an improving quality of life and safety for residents. While challenges remain, the overall trajectory indicates a community that is becoming safer and more secure, with potential for continued improvement in the coming years.
