ZIP 08006 settlement vs Ocean County
ZIP 08006 itself is about 524 people per Census sq mi across 0.8 sq mi (435 residents), a postal settlement fact independent of the county UCR proxy.
ZIP 08006 is about 0.1% of the county reporting population (435 of 637,229), so most of the denominator and submitted incidents sit outside this postal code.
Ocean County's 2024 UCR book concentrates in burglary (50% of 8 offenses; mix index 4,063). ZIP 08006 inherits that county mix, not a postal-native split.
Settlement lines use Census ZCTA figures only; incomplete county agency coverage blocks any UCR mix or rate desk for this ZIP.
