Robbery incidents in the city have been infrequent, with a maximum of 4 cases reported in 2012. The robbery rate per 1,000 people has remained low, peaking at 0.33 per 1,000 in 2012. The city's contribution to state robbery statistics has been minimal, never exceeding 0.06% (in 2012). In recent years, including 2020, 2021, and 2022, no robberies were reported, indicating a positive trend in this category of violent crime.

Aggravated assault has been the most prevalent form of violent crime in the city. The number of incidents has fluctuated, reaching a high of 24 in 2011 and a low of 7 in 2022. The rate per 1,000 people has correspondingly varied, peaking at 1.96 per 1,000 in 2011 and decreasing to 0.55 per 1,000 in 2022. The city's contribution to state aggravated assault statistics has generally been low, ranging from 0.03% to 0.11% over the years, with the most recent figure being 0.03% in 2022.

When examining correlations between violent crime trends and other factors, a notable relationship emerges with population density. As the population density increased from 1,314 per square mile in 2010 to a peak of 1,488 in 2017, violent crimes also saw an uptick. However, as density began to decrease after 2017, reaching 1,339 per square mile in 2022, violent crimes also showed a general downward trend. This suggests a possible correlation between population density and violent crime rates in the city.

Applying predictive models to forecast violent crime trends for the next five years (up to 2029), based on the historical data and recent downward trend, we can anticipate a continued gradual decrease in overall violent crime rates. Specifically, aggravated assaults are likely to continue their downward trajectory, potentially reaching an average of 5-6 incidents per year by 2029. Rape incidents may stabilize at around 2-3 per year, while robberies are expected to remain rare or non-existent. Murder rates are predicted to remain exceptionally low, with possibly one incident occurring within the five-year period.

In summary, Munford has demonstrated a complex but generally improving violent crime landscape over the past decade. The most significant discoveries include the consistently low murder rate, the fluctuating but recently decreasing trend in aggravated assaults, and the potential correlation between population density and violent crime rates. The city's contribution to state crime statistics has remained relatively small across all categories of violent crime. As the community moves forward, these trends suggest a cautiously optimistic outlook for public safety in Munford, with violent crime rates expected to remain low or potentially decrease further in the coming years.
