ZIP 19551 settlement vs Berks County

ZIP 19551 itself is about 192 people per Census sq mi across 25.3 sq mi (4,874 residents), a postal settlement fact independent of the county UCR proxy.

ZIP 19551 is about 1.1% of the county reporting population (4,874 of 428,849), so most of the denominator and submitted incidents sit outside this postal code.

Berks County's 2024 UCR book concentrates in aggravated assault (100% of 4 offenses; mix index 10,000). ZIP 19551 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.
