How useful is the county proxy for ZIP 27695?
Within the participating-agency records for Wake County, reported violent and property crime rates both sit below their U.S. benchmarks: violent crime is 93% 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 27695.
