How useful is the county proxy for ZIP 96747?

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 96747. 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.

ZIP 96747 sits near the middle of Kauai County's ZIP population ordering (#12 of 16). The county comparison is useful regional context, but it cannot say how reported incidents are distributed within this postal area.
