GEOID 16000US3916014 corresponds to the city of Findlay, Ohio. According to recent estimates, Findlay has a population of approximately 41,000 residents. The median household income is around $65,000. To calculate the crime rate per 100,000 residents, we can use the total crime count of 218. (218 / 41,000) * 100,000 = 531.7 per 100,000. To determine the violent crime rate, we sum the incidents of homicide (1), assault (109), robbery (7), and sex offenses (10), totaling 127 violent crimes. The violent crime rate per 100,000 residents is (127 / 41,000) * 100,000 = 309.8 per 100,000. The property crime rate is calculated using the 87 property crime incidents. The property crime rate per 100,000 residents is (87 / 41,000) * 100,000 = 212.2 per 100,000. Based on these rates, Findlay's safety score and grade would depend on a comparative analysis against national averages and other cities of similar size. Generally, a lower crime rate indicates a higher safety score and grade. Without specific benchmarks, it's challenging to assign a precise score or grade. Crime map data would visually represent the geographic distribution of these incidents within Findlay, highlighting areas with higher concentrations of specific crime types. Zip code data would further break down crime statistics by specific areas within the city. Insights from this data suggest that while assault is the most common crime, property crime also poses a significant concern. The relatively low rates of homicide and robbery indicate a lower prevalence of violent crime compared to some other cities. However, the incidence of sex offenses warrants attention. Targeted crime prevention strategies should focus on addressing assault and theft, while also ensuring resources are available to address and prevent sex offenses.
