Auto Theft Rates Rise with City Size in Iowa Study
Iowa State sociologist Walter Lunden finds auto thefts in rural counties lower than in urban areas, with rates rising as population and proximity to highways grow. For 1949, thefts per 100000 registered cars rose from 65 in small rural counties to 151 in areas with large cities, with seasonal peaks in the year's latter half. Low and mid priced cars predominate among Iowa thieves.
