Is ZIP code 43162 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 43162 sits within Madison County, OH. 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.

Madison County reported a violent-crime rate of 66 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 370 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 29 reported violent incidents across a county population of 43,824, 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 43162 carries a Census-reported population of 6,837, ranking #3 of 7 ZIPs in Madison County, spread across 47 square miles (about 145 people per square mile). For a full breakdown of Madison County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Madison County crime page linked below.
