However, there has been a notable improvement in 2024 and 2026: property crimes dropped from 718 in 2023 to 514 in 2024 and then to just 36 in 2026, while violent incidents fell to 18 in 2026.
The data for 2026 indicates a dramatic decrease across all categories, with total incidents falling by over 90% compared to 2025. This suggests a recent strong improvement in safety, though longer-term trends prior to 2024 were worsening.
