GEOID 16000US1940845 corresponds to the city of Davenport, Iowa. According to recent estimates, Davenport has a population of approximately 102,000 residents and a median household income of around $60,000. Based on the provided crime data alone, we can calculate a rough crime rate per 100,000 residents. With 225 total incidents and a population of 102,000, the overall crime rate is approximately 220.59 per 100,000. To break this down further, the property crime rate is roughly 117.65 per 100,000 (120 property crimes), and the assault rate is approximately 81.37 per 100,000 (83 assaults). The violent crime rate, encompassing robbery, sex offenses, and assault, is approximately 83.33 per 100,000 (1 + 3 + 83 incidents). Without additional data sources, determining a precise safety score or grade is challenging. However, based on the calculated crime rates, Davenport's safety can be compared to national averages. The high proportion of property crime, particularly larceny, suggests a need for increased preventative measures and community awareness programs. The relatively high number of assault offenses also warrants attention, potentially through community policing initiatives and conflict resolution programs. Further analysis would benefit from crime map data, which would visually represent crime hotspots and patterns across different zip codes within Davenport. This would allow for targeted resource allocation and crime prevention strategies. Zip code-specific data would also reveal variations in crime rates and types across different neighborhoods, enabling a more granular understanding of safety concerns.
