The single biggest problem with Auburn is it’s proximity to other areas that have bad reputations for being high crime or at least significantly higher than Auburn: Montgomery, Tuskegee, and Columbus/Phenix City. These areas all have problems with drugs, crime, gangs, etc. and none are further than 60 miles away. Auburn represents the best place to go if you are a criminal because it’s close and AU is made up of students and faculty that are typically of middle to upper class in terms of economics.
In addition to the students and professors, there is a large residential community which is growing exponentially.
You're right though, much of the criminal activity comes from visitors from neighboring communities.
