Note: This data is subject to change due to late reporting.

*NC: Please note that the formula for the increase or decrease in

percentage is (N-S)/S with N representing the new number and S being the old

or starting number. Because the rules of mathematics do not allow division

by zero, if S equals zero, the percentage change obviously cannot be

calculated and therefore is classified as "NC" (Not Calculable).

Percentage changes involving small figures should be interpreted with caution.

The Index Crime "Larceny/Theft" includes both "Theft" and "Theft from Auto."
