Savannah, Missouri, a small city with a population of 6,384 in 2022, has experienced fluctuations in violent crime rates over the past decade. From 2010 to 2022, the total number of violent crimes in the city ranged from 0 to 6 incidents per year, showing no consistent trend. During this same period, the population decreased slightly from 6,692 in 2010 to 6,384 in 2022, a decrease of about 4.6%.
Regarding murder rates, Savannah has maintained a remarkably low profile. Throughout the entire period from 2010 to 2022, there were no reported murders in the city. This consistent absence of murders means the murder rate per 1,000 people has remained at zero, and the city has not contributed to the state's murder statistics.
Rape incidents in Savannah have been sporadic and infrequent. The city reported no rapes in most years, with exceptions in 2012 (2 cases), 2018 (1 case), 2020 (1 case), and 2021 (4 cases). The highest rate was in 2021, with approximately 0.63 rapes per 1,000 people. In terms of state percentages, rape cases in Savannah accounted for 0.17% of state totals in 2012, 0.05% in 2018 and 2020, and 0.19% in 2021. These figures suggest that while rape is not a persistent issue, there have been occasional spikes that warrant attention.
Robbery in Savannah has been even rarer than rape. Only two years in the dataset show any robbery incidents: 2014 (1 case) and 2018 (2 cases). This translates to rates of 0.15 and 0.30 robberies per 1,000 people in those years, respectively. The city's contribution to state robbery totals was minimal, at 0.02% in 2014 and 0.04% in 2018. The infrequency of robberies suggests that it is not a significant ongoing concern for the city.
Aggravated assault has been the most common form of violent crime in Savannah. The number of cases per year ranged from 0 to 6, with the highest number occurring in 2011. The rate of aggravated assaults per 1,000 people fluctuated, with the highest being approximately 0.91 per 1,000 in 2011. The city's contribution to state totals for aggravated assault has generally been low, ranging from 0% to 0.04% of state cases. The trend shows some variability but no clear increase or decrease over time.
When examining correlations between violent crime and other factors, there appears to be a weak relationship between population density and crime rates. As the population density decreased from 2,059 per square mile in 2010 to 1,964 per square mile in 2022, there was no corresponding consistent change in violent crime rates. The racial distribution of the city, which has remained predominantly white (97-100% throughout the period), does not show a clear correlation with crime rates due to its consistency.
Applying predictive models based on the historical data, it's challenging to forecast a clear trend for violent crime in Savannah over the next five years (up to 2029). The sporadic nature of violent crimes in the city makes predictions uncertain. However, if current patterns persist, we might expect the total number of violent crimes to remain low, likely ranging between 1 to 6 incidents per year, with aggravated assault continuing to be the most common form of violent crime.
In summary, Savannah, Missouri, has maintained relatively low violent crime rates over the past decade. The absence of murders, infrequent occurrences of rape and robbery, and fluctuating but generally low rates of aggravated assault characterize the city's crime profile. While there have been occasional spikes in certain types of violent crime, the overall picture suggests a community that has not been significantly impacted by violent criminal activity. The city's stable demographic makeup and slight population decrease have not shown strong correlations with crime rates, indicating that other factors may be more influential in determining the incidence of violent crime in this small Missouri city.
