How useful is the county proxy for ZIP 29014?
Participating agencies give Fairfield County a split reported profile: violent crime is 72% above the U.S. benchmark while property crime is 19% below it. A single "high" or "low" label would hide that difference; the submissions neither establish complete county coverage nor identify conditions within ZIP 29014. 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.
29014 is comparatively spread out at about 8 people per square mile. That settlement pattern may differ sharply from the county's population centers, another reason to use the county rates as regional context rather than a local estimate.
