Is ZIP code 64730 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 64730 sits within Bates 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.

Bates County reported a violent-crime rate of 156 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 436 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 25 reported violent incidents across a county population of 16,042, 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 64730 carries a Census-reported population of 6,651, ranking #1 of 6 ZIPs in Bates County, spread across 282.3 square miles (about 24 people per square mile). For a full breakdown of Bates County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Bates County crime page linked below.
