How useful is the county proxy for ZIP 31523?

Participating agencies give Glynn County a split reported profile: violent crime is 5% below the U.S. benchmark while property crime is 5% above it. The categories should be read separately; the submissions neither establish complete county coverage nor provide a ZIP-specific rate for 31523. 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.

31523 is comparatively spread out at about 74 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.
