How useful is the county proxy for ZIP 61552?
Within the participating-agency records for Peoria County, reported violent and property crime rates both sit below their U.S. benchmarks: violent crime is 76% below and property crime is 83% below. The two submitted measures point in the same direction, but they do not establish complete county coverage or turn the result into a ZIP-level rating for 61552.

Within the county, 61552 is among the smaller ZIPs by population (#23 of 25). County-wide counts are especially coarse context for a smaller postal area because most of the denominator and reported incidents may sit elsewhere in the county.
