Is ZIP code 23920 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 23920 sits within Brunswick County, VA. 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.

Brunswick County reported a violent-crime rate of 133 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 581 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 21 reported violent incidents across a county population of 15,849, 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 23920 carries a Census-reported population of 2,756, ranking #2 of 12 ZIPs in Brunswick County, spread across 127.65 square miles (about 22 people per square mile).
