ZIP 48202 settlement vs Wayne County
ZIP 48202 itself is about 4,363 people per Census sq mi across 3.4 sq mi (14,617 residents), a postal settlement fact independent of the county UCR proxy.
ZIP 48202 is about 0.8% of the county reporting population (14,617 of 1,793,561), so most of the denominator and submitted incidents sit outside this postal code.
Wayne County's 2024 UCR book concentrates in aggravated assault (95% of 63 offenses; mix index 9,093). ZIP 48202 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.
