ZIP 54653 settlement vs La Crosse County
ZIP 54653 itself is about 56 people per Census sq mi across 21.6 sq mi (1,210 residents), a postal settlement fact independent of the county UCR proxy.
ZIP 54653 is about 1% of the county reporting population (1,210 of 120,784), so most of the denominator and submitted incidents sit outside this postal code.
La Crosse County's 2024 UCR book concentrates in larceny-theft (65% of 109 offenses; mix index 4,827). ZIP 54653 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.
