The city-data crime index went from 327.7 in 2006 to 90.3 in 2019.
Can anyone familiar with the area fill me in on how they managed to reduce crime so dramatically?
1. Redistricting of the schools.
2. Two notorious families moved out.
3. The new legislation on how to categorized crime went into effect.
4. They defunded the Waxhaw police force.
5. Everyone has been watching the Perseid meteor shower.
6. I have no idea!

I rated this comment positively, and now I am quoting it here again for making me laugh on a Monday evening, which ain't easy to do.
I would think the reason would be it's in a fairly affluent area relative to much of the state (which statistically is normally associated with lower crime rates), and it tends to attract middle to upper-middle income families moving there who are statistically less likely to be involved in crime, which drives the crime statistics downward.
