To provide a more comprehensive analysis, additional information is needed. The GEOID 16000US0109208 corresponds to a specific geographic area, and determining the city and state associated with this GEOID is crucial. Once the location is identified, data on population and median income can be obtained from sources like the US Census Bureau. With the population figure, the crime rate per 100,000 residents can be calculated for both total crime, violent crime (assault in this case), and property crime. The "safety score" and "safety grade" are not directly derivable from the provided data. These metrics typically involve a more complex calculation considering various factors beyond raw crime counts, such as clearance rates, police presence, community demographics, and socioeconomic indicators. Similarly, a "crime map" would require geocoded crime incident data, which is not included in the provided JSON. Zip code data would also need to be cross-referenced with the GEOID to determine the relevant zip codes for the area. Without the city and state name, population, and median income, it's impossible to calculate crime rates or assign safety scores/grades. However, based solely on the provided data, the primary concern appears to be property crime, particularly larceny/theft. Further investigation into the specific types of larceny occurring (e.g., shoplifting, vehicle theft, pickpocketing) could help tailor crime prevention strategies. The relatively high number of assault offenses also warrants attention, and understanding the nature of these assaults (e.g., aggravated vs. simple) is important. The single incident of extortion/blackmail, while infrequent, should not be ignored, as it may indicate a potential for more serious or organized criminal activity.
