Is ZIP code 63820 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 63820 sits within Mississippi County, MO. 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.

Mississippi County reported a violent-crime rate of 32 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 262 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 4 reported violent incidents across a county population of 12,577, 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.

With 253 residents, ZIP 63820 is among the smaller ZIPs in Mississippi County (#5 of 5 by population), spread across 0.49 square miles (516/sq mi). For a full breakdown of Mississippi County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Mississippi County crime page linked below.
