Is ZIP code 54459 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 54459 sits within Price County, WI. 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.

Price County reported a violent-crime rate of 57 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 278 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 8 reported violent incidents across a county population of 14,054, 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 54459 carries a Census-reported population of 1,296, ranking #3 of 8 ZIPs in Price County, spread across 133.19 square miles (about 10 people per square mile). For a full breakdown of Price County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Price County crime page linked below.
