ZIP 11742 settlement vs Suffolk County
ZIP 11742 itself is about 2,611 people per Census sq mi across 5.2 sq mi (13,448 residents), a postal settlement fact independent of the county UCR proxy.
ZIP 11742 is about 0.9% of the county reporting population (13,448 of 1,525,920), so most of the denominator and submitted incidents sit outside this postal code.
Suffolk County's 2024 UCR book concentrates in aggravated assault (100% of 45 offenses; mix index 10,000). ZIP 11742 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.
