Is ZIP code 64873 safe? Honest data snapshot

Lawrence County reported a violent-crime rate of 71 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 403 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

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.
