Is ZIP code 56007 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 56007 sits within Freeborn County, MN. 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.

Freeborn County reported a violent-crime rate of 16 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 295 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 5 reported violent incidents across a county population of 30,895, 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 56007 is the largest ZIP in Freeborn County by population, 21,621 residents (#1 of 12 county ZIPs), across 169.3 square miles (128/sq mi). For a full breakdown of Freeborn County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Freeborn County crime page linked below.
