Is ZIP code 04468 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 04468 sits within Penobscot County, ME. The figures below are the county's own FBI UCR numbers for 2024, the most accurate available statistic for this location, not a ZIP-specific calculation.

Penobscot County reported a violent-crime rate of 13 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 193 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 20 reported violent incidents across a county population of 152,199, this count is too low to support a reliable per-100K rate comparison. It may reflect a genuinely low-crime county, or it may reflect incomplete agency-level reporting to the FBI UCR Program for this county and year, small county-level counts are common in FBI Table 10 and should be treated as a data point, not a precise safety ranking.

ZIP 04468 is the largest ZIP in Penobscot County by population, 9,234 residents (#4 of 41 county ZIPs), across 122.76 square miles (75/sq mi). For a full breakdown of Penobscot County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Penobscot County crime page linked below.
