Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 29.6% of reported property offenses in Eatonville, against a cohort median of 81.8%. The remainder is burglary (94) and motor vehicle theft (6). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
