Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the property crime rate, we need to divide the number of property offenses by the population and then multiply by 100,000.

Property crime rate = (number of property offenses / population) x 100,000

Property crime rate = (8,825 / 249,480) x 100,000

Property crime rate ≈ 3,537 property offenses per 100,000 inhabitants

Therefore, the answer is C.
