Is ZIP code 44814 safe? Honest data snapshot
ZIP code 44814 sits within Erie 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.
Erie County reported a violent-crime rate of 11 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 89 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.
Based on just 8 reported violent incidents across a county population of 75,622, 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.
With 2,242 residents, ZIP 44814 is among the smaller ZIPs in Erie County (#6 of 7 by population), spread across 25.55 square miles (88/sq mi). For a full breakdown of Erie County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Erie County crime page linked below.
