How useful is the county proxy for ZIP 25826?
Within the participating-agency records for Wyoming County, reported violent and property crime rates both sit below their U.S. benchmarks: violent crime is 55% below and property crime is 95% below. The two submitted measures point in the same direction, but they do not establish complete county coverage or turn the result into a ZIP-level rating for 25826.
