How useful is the county proxy for ZIP 89447?

Within the participating-agency records for Lyon County, reported violent and property crime rates both sit below their U.S. benchmarks: violent crime is 1% below and property crime is 68% 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 89447. Both comparisons use the same 2024 county reporting population and FBI-submitted counts, so the two directions are internally comparable for this release, not evidence about a different year.

89447 is comparatively spread out at about 10 people per square mile. That settlement pattern may differ sharply from the county's population centers, another reason to use the county rates as regional context rather than a local estimate.
