Lake Quivira, Kansas, presents an intriguing case study in violent crime trends. This small city, with a population of 2,647 in 2022, has shown remarkable consistency in its crime statistics over the years. Interestingly, the total number of violent crimes reported has remained at zero from 2011 to 2019, the years for which data is available. This trend persists despite a population growth from 2,417 in 2011 to 2,433 in 2019, representing a modest increase of 0.66% over this period.
Analyzing the murder trends in the city reveals a consistent pattern of zero incidents reported from 2011 to 2019. This translates to a murder rate of 0 per 1,000 people throughout the observed period. The percentage of state crime for murder also remains at 0% across all reported years, indicating that Lake Quivira has not contributed to the state's murder statistics during this time.
Similarly, rape statistics show no reported incidents from 2011 to 2019. The rape rate per 1,000 people is consistently 0, and the city's contribution to the state's rape statistics remains at 0% throughout the observed period. This trend holds steady despite minor fluctuations in population over the years.
Robbery trends mirror those of other violent crimes in the city, with zero incidents reported from 2011 to 2019. The robbery rate per 1,000 people is 0, and the city's percentage of state robbery crime remains at 0% across all reported years. This consistency is maintained regardless of population changes during this period.
Aggravated assault statistics follow the same pattern as other violent crimes in Lake Quivira. From 2011 to 2019, there were no reported cases of aggravated assault. The rate per 1,000 people remains at 0, and the city's contribution to the state's aggravated assault statistics is consistently 0% throughout the observed timeframe.
When examining correlations between violent crime trends and other factors, the most striking observation is the consistent absence of reported violent crimes despite changes in population density and racial distribution. The population density increased from 1,637 people per square mile in 2011 to 1,648 in 2019, yet this had no apparent impact on crime rates. Similarly, while the white population percentage increased slightly from 85% in 2013 to 93% in 2019, this change did not correlate with any fluctuation in violent crime rates, which remained at zero.
Applying predictive models to forecast violent crime trends for the next seven years (up to 2029, which is five years from now) suggests a continuation of the current pattern. Based on the historical data showing zero violent crimes consistently reported from 2011 to 2019, it is reasonable to predict that Lake Quivira may continue to experience very low to no violent crime in the coming years, assuming no significant changes in socioeconomic factors or law enforcement practices.
In summary, Lake Quivira demonstrates an exceptional case of consistently zero reported violent crimes across all categories from 2011 to 2019. This trend persists despite modest population growth and changes in demographic composition. The city's ability to maintain such low crime rates over an extended period is noteworthy and may offer valuable insights into community safety and crime prevention strategies for similar small municipalities.
