Lakeview has a population density of 934.4 people per square mile, contrasting with the national average of 90.6 people per square mile.

Within these environments, income disparities can become pronounced, leading to higher poverty levels. This economic divide may contribute to an uptick in property crimes and, occasionally, violent crimes. In contrast, areas characterized by low population density typically exhibit lower Lakeview crime rates.

The impact of law enforcement and community policing efforts plays a crucial role in shaping crime rates in any city.

In Lakeview, the ratio of police officers and civilians per 1,000 residents stands at 2.68, differing from the national average of 3.25.

Elevated rental costs can generate economic strain for both individuals and families, particularly those with restricted financial means. When a substantial proportion of one's income is allocated to housing costs, it often leaves limited resources for fulfilling other crucial necessities such as groceries, healthcare and education. This financial pressure can fuel desperation, potentially prompting individuals to resort to criminal actions, including theft or fraud, as a means of coping with their financial hardships. In Lakeview, the average monthly rent stands at $689, while the national average is $949 per month.
