Is ZIP code 62827 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 62827 sits within White County, IL. 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.

White County reported a violent-crime rate of 22 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 432 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 3 reported violent incidents across a county population of 13,877, 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 62827 carries a Census-reported population of 1,097, ranking #5 of 10 ZIPs in White County, spread across 65.76 square miles (about 17 people per square mile). For a full breakdown of White County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the White County crime page linked below.
