ZIP 30288 settlement vs DeKalb County
ZIP 30288 itself is about 1,113 people per Census sq mi across 7 sq mi (7,738 residents), a postal settlement fact independent of the county UCR proxy.
ZIP 30288 is about 1% of the county reporting population (7,738 of 764,382), so most of the denominator and submitted incidents sit outside this postal code.
DeKalb County's 2024 UCR book concentrates in aggravated assault (95% of 20 offenses; mix index 9,075). ZIP 30288 inherits that county mix, not a postal-native split.
Settlement lines use Census ZCTA figures only; incomplete county agency coverage blocks any UCR mix or rate desk for this ZIP.
