How useful is the county proxy for ZIP 43746?
Within the participating-agency records for Muskingum County, reported violent and property crime rates both sit below their U.S. benchmarks: violent crime is 50% below and property crime is 66% below. The two submitted measures point in the same direction, but they do not establish complete county coverage or turn the result into a ZIP-level rating for 43746.

43746 is comparatively spread out at about 42 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.
