Is ZIP code 47408 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 47408 sits within Monroe 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.

Monroe County reported a violent-crime rate of 15 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 270 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 21 reported violent incidents across a county population of 139,718, 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 47408 carries a Census-reported population of 21,733, ranking #4 of 11 ZIPs in Monroe County, spread across 64.45 square miles (about 337 people per square mile). For a full breakdown of Monroe County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Monroe County crime page linked below.
