How useful is the county proxy for ZIP 70085?

Within the participating-agency records for St. Bernard County, reported violent and property crime rates both sit above their U.S. benchmarks: violent crime is 41% above and property crime is 13% above. The two submitted measures point in the same direction, but they do not establish complete county coverage or locate crime inside ZIP 70085.
