How useful is the county proxy for ZIP 96766?

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 96766. 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.

Within the county, 96766 is one of the most populous ZIPs (#2 of 16). Its 17,604 residents therefore represent a comparatively large share of the local population, but the county total still combines reports from places outside this ZIP.
