Robbery trends show a decrease from 1 case in 2020 to 0 cases in 2022. The robbery rate per 1,000 people dropped from 0.86 to 0. The city's contribution to the state's robbery statistics also decreased from 0.02% to 0%. This reduction suggests an improvement in property-related violent crime within the community.

Aggravated assault cases decreased from 2 in 2020 to 1 in 2022. The rate per 1,000 people slightly decreased from 1.73 to 0.99. The city's contribution to the state's aggravated assault statistics decreased from 0.01% to 0%. While there was a reduction, aggravated assault remained the most common form of violent crime in the city during this period.

Examining correlations, there appears to be a relationship between the decline in violent crime and the decrease in population density. As the population density dropped from 925 per square mile in 2020 to 805 in 2022, violent crime also decreased. Concurrently, median rent increased from $538 in 2020 to $748 in 2022, which could potentially be associated with changing neighborhood dynamics.

The racial composition of the city also shifted during this period. The percentage of Black residents decreased from 53% in 2020 to 41% in 2022, while the percentage of White residents increased from 36% to 54%. This significant demographic change occurred alongside the reduction in violent crime, though a direct causal relationship cannot be established without further investigation.

Applying predictive models based on these trends, we can forecast that by 2029 (five years from now), violent crime in Woodland may continue to decrease slightly or stabilize at very low levels. The population is likely to continue its downward trend, potentially reaching around 800-850 residents. If current patterns persist, the racial composition may continue to shift, with a possible further increase in the White population and decrease in the Black population.

In summary, Woodland has experienced a significant reduction in violent crime from 2020 to 2022, with decreases across all categories of violent offenses. This trend has occurred alongside population decline, increasing median rent, and notable shifts in racial demographics. The most important discovery is the overall improvement in public safety as measured by violent crime statistics, particularly the absence of murders and rapes. These changes suggest a transforming community dynamic in Woodland, potentially influenced by demographic shifts and economic factors.
