ZIP 10996 settlement vs Orange County
ZIP 10996 itself is about 2,002 people per Census sq mi across 3.2 sq mi (6,386 residents), a postal settlement fact independent of the county UCR proxy.
ZIP 10996 is about 1.6% of the county reporting population (6,386 of 401,310), so most of the denominator and submitted incidents sit outside this postal code.
Orange County's 2024 UCR book concentrates in larceny-theft (82% of 17 offenses; mix index 7,093). ZIP 10996 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.
