ZIP 13406 settlement vs Herkimer County
ZIP 13406 itself is about 106 people per Census sq mi across 4.6 sq mi (492 residents), a postal settlement fact independent of the county UCR proxy.
ZIP 13406 is about 0.8% of the county reporting population (492 of 60,139), so most of the denominator and submitted incidents sit outside this postal code.
Herkimer County's 2024 UCR book concentrates in larceny-theft (100% of 11 offenses; mix index 10,000). ZIP 13406 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.
