Is ZIP code 81621 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 81621 sits within Eagle County, CO. 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.

Eagle County reported a violent-crime rate of 34 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 226 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 19 reported violent incidents across a county population of 55,731, 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 81621 carries a Census-reported population of 5,869, ranking #4 of 10 ZIPs in Eagle County, spread across 258.7 square miles (about 23 people per square mile). For a full breakdown of Eagle County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Eagle County crime page linked below.
