Tracking
Why This Measure Matters
Tracking the rate of crimes against property helps the city identify trends and allocate resources to improve public safety. It also provides valuable feedback in evaluating the success or opportunities to improve enforcement strategies.
What’s the Story?
The 2025 rate of 11.05 Crimes Against Property per 1,000 residents represents a significant reduction from 2024’s rate of 15.89 per 1,000 and continues a steady decline that began in 2022. The improvement aligns with proactive enforcement efforts, targeted attention to repeat property offenders, and strengthened coordination with regional and community partners. While no single initiative accounts for the decrease, sustained and focused strategies appear to be driving the continued downward trend.
