      What I want to know is what “rate % change” mean?

      I assume, theft rate is something like amount of thefts reported to police (per capita) per year, % change means the relative difference between two values in percent, i.e.

      [value(2024)-value(2014)]/value(2014)·100 %  
      = [value(2024)/value(2014)-1]·100 %

    Missing some pretty basic elements: a north reference, a scale, and most importantly, a source for the data
