Is ZIP code 57002 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 57002 sits within Brookings County, SD. 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.

Brookings County reported a violent-crime rate of 18 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 102 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 6 reported violent incidents across a county population of 34,375, 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 57002 carries a Census-reported population of 1,647, ranking #4 of 8 ZIPs in Brookings County, spread across 63.91 square miles (about 26 people per square mile).
