42% decrease from 2007. That is a big, big number. Why exactly are cars getting harder to steal? If you're referring to technology, I'm a bit skeptical. I can't imagine that many people getting new cars in that period of time that would make that noticeable of a difference.

Yea car theft is dropping everywhere. The main reason to steal a car besides joy riding is for parting out for a body shop. In other words new cars which are getting harder to steal as time goes on. I guess the joy riding stealing is dropping because the kids are losing interest ?? who knows. Here look,. its dropping everywhere..

Well, that is great news. Hopefully we can see that trend in every other area then, yeah? I wonder how much the "improved court sentencing" I read on one of those links has come into play. Would be nice to adopt this strategy for home break-ins and see a sharp decrease in those, if possible.

Hopefully we will see a 42% decrease in the murder rate in the next 5 years.

With what seems like mass gentrification and some headway being made into crime in general, it is possible that a significant decrease could happen within the next 5 years. I wouldn't hold my breath for 42%, but I'm more optimistic than Frank is. I'd be interested in seeing the statistics by "core neighborhood" as defined by Summersm343 from 2007 to now. If I weren't so busy packing, I'd probably take up this endeavor myself. That is, unless Summersm343 has already compiled that data in this thread somewhere. Please let me know!

On your core neighborhood map, it does not appear to have Kensington or "West" Kenginston (which I assume is Olde Kensington) marked. Nor does it have Fishtown, but Fishtown is rather self explanatory. Any chance of a edit or any other resource? I started on 2011 and was nearly finished, but ran into this problem.
