Is ZIP code 12721 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 12721 sits within Sullivan County, NY. The figures below are the county's own FBI UCR numbers for 2024, the most accurate available statistic for this location, not a ZIP-specific calculation.

Sullivan County reported a violent-crime rate of 27 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 356 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 21 reported violent incidents across a county population of 78,624, this count is too low to support a reliable per-100K rate comparison. It may reflect a genuinely low-crime county, or it may reflect incomplete agency-level reporting to the FBI UCR Program for this county and year, small county-level counts are common in FBI Table 10 and should be treated as a data point, not a precise safety ranking.

ZIP 12721 is the largest ZIP in Sullivan County by population, 7,872 residents (#2 of 52 county ZIPs), across 24.67 square miles (319/sq mi). For a full breakdown of Sullivan County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Sullivan County crime page linked below.
