How useful is the county proxy for ZIP 95228?

Participating agencies give Calaveras County a split reported profile: violent crime is 1% above the U.S. benchmark while property crime is 46% below it. A single "high" or "low" label would hide that difference; the submissions neither establish complete county coverage nor identify conditions within ZIP 95228. 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.

95228 is comparatively spread out at about 51 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.
