Poll Results – Q: Did crime go up or down on your properties in 2024?

Up — 46%
Stayed about the same — 31%
Down — 8%
Down significantly (more than 15%) — 8%
Up significantly (more than 15%) — 7%

Key Takeaways

✔

Nearly half of respondents (46%) reported an increase in crime, signaling growing security concerns across multifamily properties.

✔

Only 16% saw a decline (8% down, 8% down significantly), suggesting limited success with traditional deterrence methods.

✔

A significant 31% experienced no change, indicating that crime pressures remain constant even without escalation.

✔

7% saw crime rise sharply (more than 15%), pointing to properties at serious risk without stronger intervention.

✔

The data reflects uneven security outcomes, reinforcing the need for adaptable and proactive surveillance solutions.

Summary: The survey shows that crime increased on nearly half of multifamily properties in 2024, while only a small fraction experienced real declines. With many communities facing rising or stagnant incident levels, property managers need proactive approaches to protect tenants and assets. AI Video Surveillance, and Remote Guarding provide real-time crime deterrence, helping stabilize vulnerable properties and reduce crime trends.

Poll Results – Q2: What was your top safety concern in 2024?

Car break-ins / car theft — 60%
Trespassing — 40%
Package/mailroom theft — 0%
Safety issues in communal areas (pool, gym, etc.) — 0%

Key Takeaways

✔

Car-related crimes dominate concerns, with 60% citing car break-ins and theft as their top issue, signaling parking areas as prime targets for criminal activity.

✔

Trespassing remains a significant secondary concern (40%), underscoring persistent challenges with unauthorized access to properties.

✔

Package theft and communal area safety did not register as concerns, suggesting that residents perceive greater threats in parking lots and entry points rather than shared spaces.

✔

The split between car crime and trespassing indicates a dual challenge: both asset protection (vehicles) and perimeter security need stronger solutions.

Summary: In 2024, car break-ins and theft stood out as the top safety concern for many properties, with trespassing close behind. These results emphasize that residents and managers are most focused on securing vehicles and preventing unauthorized access to their communities. Addressing these issues may call for stronger surveillance coverage in parking areas, smarter access control, and AI-driven monitoring tools that help reduce risks and improve overall multifamily security.

Poll Results – Q3: Where did you have the most problems?

Suburban — 60%
Urban properties — 40%

Key Takeaways

✔

Suburban properties face more reported issues (60%) compared to urban properties (40%), highlighting a surprising vulnerability outside urban centers.

✔

The pattern challenges common assumptions, risk isn’t confined to dense urban sites; dispersed, easier-access suburban layouts may invite opportunistic activity.

✔

Security planning should not assume suburban areas are “safer”; AI Video Surveillance, Remote Guarding, and Real-Time Crime Deterrence are essential to strengthen multifamily security in these environments.

Summary: Respondents reported more challenges at suburban properties than at urban ones, highlighting that risks extend beyond city centers. While urban environments are often assumed to be higher risk, suburban layouts with larger spaces and easier access points may face unique vulnerabilities. A balanced approach to security planning is needed to address both settings effectively.
