Is ZIP code 59739 safe? Honest data snapshot
ZIP code 59739 sits within Beaverhead County, MT. 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.
Beaverhead County reported a violent-crime rate of 256 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 64 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.
