According to recent estimates, Detroit has a population of approximately 630,000 and a median household income of around $35,000. To calculate the crime rate per 100,000 residents, we divide the total crime count (468) by the population (630,000) and multiply by 100,000, resulting in a crime rate of approximately 74.29 per 100,000. To determine the safety score and grade, violent crime rate, and property crime rate, we need to categorize the crimes. Violent crimes typically include assault, robbery, and sex offenses, totaling 346 incidents. The violent crime rate per 100,000 would be (346 / 630,000) * 100,000, or approximately 54.92. Property crimes, as previously noted, total 99 incidents, resulting in a property crime rate of (99 / 630,000) * 100,000, or approximately 15.71. The "others" category is not included in violent or property crime rates. The safety score and grade are typically derived from a combination of these rates and other factors, such as community policing efforts and socioeconomic conditions, which are not available in the provided data. Crime map data and zip code-specific data would require further geographic breakdown of the reported incidents. Based on this analysis, Detroit faces significant challenges related to assault and property crime. The high incidence of assault offenses suggests a need for targeted interventions to address violence. Fraud is the most common crime in the "others" category, suggesting a need for fraud prevention and awareness programs.
