Is ZIP code 77801 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 77801 sits within Brazos County, TX. 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.

Brazos County reported a violent-crime rate of 12 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 57 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 28 reported violent incidents across a county population of 233,849, 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 77801 carries a Census-reported population of 15,163, ranking #5 of 9 ZIPs in Brazos County, spread across 3.07 square miles (about 4,939 people per square mile). For a full breakdown of Brazos County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Brazos County crime page linked below.
