ZIP 12858 settlement vs Essex County

ZIP 12858 itself is about 8 people per Census sq mi across 17.2 sq mi (146 residents), a postal settlement fact independent of the county UCR proxy.

ZIP 12858 is about 0.4% of the county reporting population (146 of 37,381), so most of the denominator and submitted incidents sit outside this postal code.

Essex County's 2024 UCR book concentrates in larceny-theft (50% of 2 offenses; mix index 7,500). ZIP 12858 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.
