How useful is the county proxy for ZIP 29666?

Within the participating-agency records for Greenwood County, reported violent and property crime rates both sit below their U.S. benchmarks: violent crime is 61% below and property crime is 52% 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 29666. 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.

29666 is comparatively spread out at about 52 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.
