Is ZIP code 13809 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 13809 sits within Otsego 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.

Otsego County reported a violent-crime rate of 14 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 44 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 8 reported violent incidents across a county population of 58,524, 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 13809 carries a Census-reported population of 1,964, ranking #10 of 35 ZIPs in Otsego County, spread across 33.68 square miles (about 58 people per square mile). For a full breakdown of Otsego County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Otsego County crime page linked below.
