ACCORDING TO THIS RECENT CITY REPORT, CRIME HAS RISEN IN MISSOURI CITY OVER 6% AS COMPARED WITH 2007:

"Though the city’s 2008 crime rate was up by six percent from 2007, that statistic still falls within the overall trend of steady crime rates during a period of explosive growth, Worrell stressed.

According to statistics provided by the city, there were approximately 575 businesses within city limits in 2000. By 2008, there were 730. The number of residences was 17,479 in 2000, but reached 20,584 in 2008. Missouri City’s population has grown from 54,000 to 67,000 during the same time period." FBN
