The two submitted measures point in the same direction, but they do not establish complete county coverage or turn the result into a ZIP-level rating for 04072. Both comparisons use the same 2024 county reporting population and FBI-submitted counts, so the two directions are internally comparable for this release, not evidence about a different year.
