GEOID 16000US1738570 corresponds to the city of Decatur, Illinois. Without current population data, calculating the crime rate per 100,000 residents is impossible. However, based on the most recent estimates, Decatur's population is around 70,000. Similarly, the median income for Decatur is needed to assess socioeconomic factors that may influence crime rates. Without calculating the crime rate per 100,000, assigning a safety score or grade is not possible. However, the violent crime rate can be estimated by combining homicide, robbery, sex offenses, and assault, totaling 471 incidents. The property crime rate is based on the 208 property crime incidents. A crime map would visually represent the geographic distribution of these incidents, highlighting potential hotspots. Zip code-level data would further refine this analysis. Based on the data, the high number of assault and property crime incidents suggests that these areas should be the focus of crime prevention efforts. Further investigation into the specific types of assault and property crimes, as well as the locations where they occur, would help to develop targeted interventions.
