Motor vehicle theft trends have been more variable. The city reported only 1 case in 2012, which increased to 5 in 2022. This change represents a 400% increase, though the small numbers make percentage changes less meaningful. The rate per 1,000 residents increased from 0.11 in 2012 to 0.55 in 2022. The city's share of state motor vehicle thefts also rose from 0.00% to 0.02%, suggesting a localized increase in this crime type relative to state trends.

Arson cases in Princeton have been sporadic and low in number. In 2012, no arsons were reported, while in 2022, there was 1 case. The rate per 1,000 residents in 2022 was 0.11. The city's share of state arsons increased from 0.00% in 2012 to 0.15% in 2022, indicating that while arson remains rare, its occurrence has become more significant relative to state figures.

Examining correlations between crime trends and demographic factors reveals some interesting patterns. The decrease in overall property crime rates coincides with a slight increase in the percentage of owner-occupied housing, which rose from 71% in 2013 to 74% in 2022. This could suggest that higher rates of home ownership may contribute to reduced property crime. Additionally, the median income in the city increased from $49,823 in 2013 to $52,366 in 2022, potentially indicating improved economic conditions that might correlate with reduced property crime rates.

Applying predictive models to forecast property crime trends for the next five years (up to 2029) suggests a continuation of the overall downward trend in property crimes. Based on the historical data, we can project that total property crimes may further decrease to around 80-90 incidents per year by 2029. Burglaries are likely to remain low, possibly stabilizing at 1-3 cases annually. Larceny-theft is expected to continue its gradual decline, potentially reaching around 70-80 cases per year. Motor vehicle theft might stabilize or slightly decrease to 3-4 cases annually, while arson cases are projected to remain rare, with 0-1 incidents per year.

In conclusion, Princeton has demonstrated a generally positive trend in property crime reduction over the past decade. The significant decrease in burglaries and larceny-thefts, coupled with stable or slightly increasing rates of home ownership and median income, paints a picture of a community that has made strides in enhancing public safety. While motor vehicle theft has seen a slight increase, the overall property crime landscape in Princeton appears to be improving, with projections suggesting this trend may continue in the coming years.
