Wyatt, Missouri, a small community with a population of 309 in 2022, presents an interesting case study in violent crime trends. In 2017, the city reported a total of 1 violent crime, which remained unchanged through the available data. This single incident occurred against a backdrop of declining population, which decreased from 424 in 2017 to 309 in 2022, representing a 27.12% reduction over this period.
Regarding murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, the city reported no incidents throughout the available data. With a population of 424 in 2017 declining to 309 in 2022, the murder rate per 1,000 people remained at zero. The percentage of state crime for this category was also consistently 0%, indicating that Wyatt did not contribute to the state's murder statistics during this period.
Similarly, there were no reported incidents of rape in the city. The rape rate per 1,000 people remained at zero, and the city's contribution to the state's rape statistics was 0% throughout the observed period.
Robbery followed the same pattern, with no reported incidents. The robbery rate per 1,000 people was zero, and the city's share of state robbery statistics remained at 0%.
The single violent crime reported in 2017 was categorized as aggravated assault. This incident resulted in an aggravated assault rate of 2.36 per 1,000 people in 2017. Despite the population decrease to 309 in 2022, no additional aggravated assaults were reported, effectively reducing the rate to zero by 2022. The city's contribution to the state's aggravated assault statistics was 0.01% in 2017, a minimal but notable figure for a small community.
When examining correlations between violent crime trends and other factors, there appears to be a weak inverse relationship with population density. As the population density decreased from 361 per square mile in 2017 to 263 in 2022, the single violent crime incident did not recur. However, this correlation is not strong enough to draw definitive conclusions given the limited data and single incident.
Applying predictive models to forecast violent crime trends for the next five years (up to 2029) is challenging due to the limited data and the rarity of violent crime in Wyatt. Based on the available information, it's reasonable to project that violent crime rates will likely remain very low, potentially fluctuating between zero and one incident per year, assuming population trends and other factors remain relatively stable.
In summary, Wyatt demonstrates an exceptionally low violent crime rate, with only one reported incident of aggravated assault in 2017 and no other violent crimes recorded in the available data. This single incident, set against a backdrop of declining population, underscores the city's overall safety. The consistent absence of murders, rapes, and robberies, coupled with the isolated nature of the aggravated assault, suggests that Wyatt maintains a generally peaceful environment despite its demographic changes.
