Is ZIP code 40165 safe? Honest data snapshot
ZIP code 40165 sits within Bullitt County, KY. The figures below are the county's own FBI UCR numbers for 2024, the most accurate available statistic for this location, not a ZIP-specific calculation.
Bullitt County reported a violent-crime rate of 24 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 257 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.
Based on just 20 reported violent incidents across a county population of 82,217, this count is too low to support a reliable per-100K rate comparison. It may reflect a genuinely low-crime county, or it may reflect incomplete agency-level reporting to the FBI UCR Program for this county and year, small county-level counts are common in FBI Table 10 and should be treated as a data point, not a precise safety ranking.
ZIP 40165 carries a Census-reported population of 38,074, ranking #1 of 6 ZIPs in Bullitt County, spread across 113.23 square miles (about 336 people per square mile). For a full breakdown of Bullitt County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Bullitt County crime page linked below.
