While areas that have strong employment rates, often will see a reduction in overall crime. Splendora, for instance, reports an unemployment rate of 2.6%, which differs from the national average of 4.7%.

Rising cost of living expenses, including increased housing costs, grocery, utility and healthcare expenditures, can induce financial strain on individuals and families, particularly those with limited financial resources.
