Is ZIP code 04915 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 04915 sits within Waldo 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.

Waldo County reported a violent-crime rate of 5 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 53 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 2 reported violent incidents across a county population of 39,607, 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 04915 is the largest ZIP in Waldo County by population, 9,078 residents (#1 of 18 county ZIPs), across 73.06 square miles (124/sq mi). For a full breakdown of Waldo County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Waldo County crime page linked below.
