Once the population is known, the violent crime rate can be calculated by summing the incidents of assault, sex offenses, and robbery (147 + 3 + 3 = 153) and dividing by the population, then multiplying by 100,000. Similarly, the property crime rate can be calculated by dividing the total property crime incidents (102) by the population and multiplying by 100,000. The "others" category is not included in violent or property crime rates.
