ZIP 08741 settlement vs Ocean County

ZIP 08741 itself is about 2,977 people per Census sq mi across 0.9 sq mi (2,798 residents), a postal settlement fact independent of the county UCR proxy.

ZIP 08741 is about 0.4% of the county reporting population (2,798 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 08741 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.
