ZIP 21057 settlement vs Baltimore County
ZIP 21057 itself is about 285 people per Census sq mi across 15.9 sq mi (4,530 residents), a postal settlement fact independent of the county UCR proxy.
ZIP 21057 is about 0.5% of the county reporting population (4,530 of 854,535), so most of the denominator and submitted incidents sit outside this postal code.
Settlement lines use Census ZCTA figures only; incomplete county agency coverage blocks any UCR mix or rate desk for this ZIP.
