Decatur City, IA, a small town in the heart of the Midwest, has been plagued by crime in recent years. According to the latest statistics, the violent crime rate in Decatur City is 13.9, which is significantly lower than the national average of 22.7. However, property crime remains a major concern with a rate of 16.3, still higher than the US average of 35.4. This means that residents of Decatur City are more likely to become victims of theft, burglary, and other property-related crimes compared to the rest of the country. Despite efforts by local law enforcement to combat crime, the numbers show that there is still work to be done to ensure the safety and security of the community. As a resident of Decatur City, I am deeply concerned about the impact of crime on our town and hope to see continued efforts to address this issue.
