ZIP 53560 settlement vs Dane County
ZIP 53560 itself is about 58 people per Census sq mi across 60.1 sq mi (3,497 residents), a postal settlement fact independent of the county UCR proxy.
ZIP 53560 is about 0.6% of the county reporting population (3,497 of 561,504), so most of the denominator and submitted incidents sit outside this postal code.
Dane County's 2024 UCR book concentrates in larceny-theft (69% of 486 offenses; mix index 5,073). ZIP 53560 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.
