Crime is one of the social problems that can disrupt public security and order while causing both economic and psychological losses. Based on data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) in 2024, theft was the most common type of crime in Indonesia and is classified as a crime against property without the use of violence, commonly referred to as property crime. At the provincial level, North Sumatra is among the regions with a relatively high number of property crime cases in Indonesia. Furthermore, the number of property crime cases in the province has shown an increasing trend in recent years despite a decline in the poverty rate. This condition indicates that social and economic factors may influence the level of property crime. This study aims to analyze the effect of population density and poverty on property crime in North Sumatra Province during the period 2015-2024. The study employs a quantitative associative approach using multiple linear regression analysis and secondary time-series data obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS). The results show that, partially, both population density and poverty have a positive and significant effect on property crime. Simultaneously, these two variables also have a significant effect on property crime. Furthermore, the model explains 72.4% of the variation in property crime. These findings indicate that increases in population density and poverty tend to be associated with higher levels of property crime
