What I think that it's saying is that our violent crime rate was extremely low and now it's only low.

Five years ago we had about 160 violent crimes per 100,000 resident and now we have 234. A difference of 74 violent crimes per 100,000 residents.

In that same time period The Villages has grown by about 30,000 people and has expanded into Wildwood and Fruitland Park.

I have to wonder how many of those crime were in those cities.

In any event, 74 out of 100,000 is not very much.
