ZIP 43205 settlement vs Franklin County
ZIP 43205 itself is about 5,272 people per Census sq mi across 2.4 sq mi (12,600 residents), a postal settlement fact independent of the county UCR proxy.
ZIP 43205 is about 1% of the county reporting population (12,600 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 43205 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.
