An analysis of demographic factors reveals a weak inverse relationship between population density and violent crime rates in Gadsden. As population density fluctuated between 1,753 and 1,959 per square mile from 2013 to 2022, violent crime generally trended downward. Median rent increased from $677 in 2013 to $946 in 2022, but this does not show a strong correlation with crime rates. The racial distribution has remained relatively stable, with the white population consistently representing the majority (around 80-86% from 2015 to 2022), showing no significant correlation with violent crime trends.

Applying predictive models to forecast violent crime trends for the next five years (up to 2029), based on the overall downward trend observed from 2010 to 2020, it is anticipated that Gadsden will likely maintain low violent crime rates. The town may continue to experience sporadic incidents of aggravated assault, potentially averaging 1-2 cases per year, while murder, rape, and robbery rates are expected to remain at or near zero.

In conclusion, Gadsden has demonstrated a generally positive trend in violent crime reduction over the past decade. The most significant changes have been in aggravated assault rates, which have shown substantial fluctuation but an overall decrease. The consistently low rates of murder, rape, and robbery contribute to a picture of a relatively safe community. These trends, coupled with stable demographic indicators, suggest that Gadsden is likely to maintain its low violent crime profile in the coming years, barring any significant socioeconomic changes.
