ZIP 15205 settlement vs Allegheny County

ZIP 15205 itself is about 2,050 people per Census sq mi across 11.7 sq mi (23,946 residents), a postal settlement fact independent of the county UCR proxy.

ZIP 15205 is about 1.9% of the county reporting population (23,946 of 1,250,578), so most of the denominator and submitted incidents sit outside this postal code.

Allegheny County's 2024 UCR book concentrates in aggravated assault (67% of 6 offenses; mix index 5,000). ZIP 15205 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.
