ZIP 43202 settlement vs Franklin County
ZIP 43202 itself is about 8,278 people per Census sq mi across 2.5 sq mi (20,778 residents), a postal settlement fact independent of the county UCR proxy.
ZIP 43202 is about 1.6% of the county reporting population (20,778 of 1,323,807), so most of the denominator and submitted incidents sit outside this postal code.
Franklin County's 2024 UCR book concentrates in larceny-theft (65% of 809 offenses; mix index 4,486). ZIP 43202 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.
