How useful is the county proxy for ZIP 96703?

Participating agencies give Kauai County a split reported profile: violent crime is 17% below the U.S. benchmark while property crime is 20% above it. The categories should be read separately; the submissions neither establish complete county coverage nor provide a ZIP-specific rate for 96703. 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.

96703 is comparatively spread out at about 97 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.
