Is ZIP code 46160 safe? Honest data snapshot
ZIP code 46160 sits within Brown County, IN. 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.
Brown County reported a violent-crime rate of 116 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 523 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.
Based on just 18 reported violent incidents across a county population of 15,475, 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 46160 carries a Census-reported population of 6,102, ranking #2 of 4 ZIPs in Brown County, spread across 87.22 square miles (about 70 people per square mile). For a full breakdown of Brown County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Brown County crime page linked below.
