It is not, based on the number of reported carjackings/thefts, 1% of the population of Minneapolis has either been carjacked or had their car stolen. That's just Minneapolis.
That's WILD.
I live here, it's happening in broad daylight, and becoming more violent.
Last week we had an amber alert because someone stole a car with a 1 year old in it.
This doesn’t include car thefts, which there have been an additional 3387. Between car thefts and carjackings (robbery with car theft), there have been a total of 3879 cars taken, almost 1% of the population of Minneapolis have had their car taken in 2021, and 4035 car thefts/carjackings in 2020.
As of 2019 the population of Minneapolis was 420,324. So 1% of that is ~4,200.
Now not all 420k residents own a car, so considering the % of car owners is a smaller number the percentage is probably higher.

Wow that’s a crazy statistic. Do you have a source?
Yeah it was someone that was aggregating data of their own goodwill and posting it on a neighborhood Facebook group.
This is the map he made of all of them (Reported ones): https://maps.co/map/619333f95e2d8772482744czk0b21d4?fbclid=I...
The numbers he broke down like this:

Still crazy to me.
