How useful is the county proxy for ZIP 79118?
Within the participating-agency records for Randall County, reported violent and property crime rates both sit below their U.S. benchmarks: violent crime is 90% below and property crime is 96% below. The two submitted measures point in the same direction, but they do not establish complete county coverage or turn the result into a ZIP-level rating for 79118.
