How useful is the county proxy for ZIP 28362?
Participating agencies give Robeson County a split reported profile: violent crime is 119% above the U.S. benchmark while property crime is 5% below it. A single "high" or "low" label would hide that difference; the submissions neither establish complete county coverage nor identify conditions within ZIP 28362. Both comparisons use the same 2024 county reporting population and FBI-submitted counts, so the two directions are internally comparable for this release, not evidence about a different year.
Within the county, 28362 is among the smaller ZIPs by population (#14 of 15). County-wide counts are especially coarse context for a smaller postal area because most of the denominator and reported incidents may sit elsewhere in the county.
