With this information, we could calculate the crime rate per 100k population, estimate a safety score and grade, and determine the violent and property crime rates. Furthermore, zip code data and crime map data would be necessary to visualize crime hotspots and patterns within the area. Without the population data, it's impossible to contextualize the crime counts.
