ZIP 08078 settlement vs Camden County

ZIP 08078 itself is about 4,169 people per Census sq mi across 1.9 sq mi (8,005 residents), a postal settlement fact independent of the county UCR proxy.

ZIP 08078 is about 1.5% of the county reporting population (8,005 of 523,485), so most of the denominator and submitted incidents sit outside this postal code.

Camden County's 2024 UCR book concentrates in larceny-theft (67% of 33 offenses; mix index 5,078). ZIP 08078 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.
