GEOID 16000US2953102 corresponds to the city of **Belton, Missouri**. Now, let's assume we have the following additional information for Belton, Missouri: **Population:** 24,000 (Estimated) **Median Income:** $68,000 (Estimated) With this information, we can calculate some key metrics: **Crime Rate per 100k:** (192 / 24,000) * 100,000 = 800 crimes per 100,000 people. **Property Crime Rate per 100k:** (142 / 24,000) * 100,000 = 591.67 crimes per 100,000 people. **Violent Crime Rate per 100k:** (43 / 24,000) * 100,000 = 179.17 crimes per 100,000 people (based solely on the "assault" category as a proxy for violent crime in this dataset). *Insights:** The data suggests that Belton experiences a higher rate of property crime compared to violent crime. Larceny/Theft and Stolen Property Offenses are the most significant contributors to the overall crime rate. While assault is present, it occurs at a lower frequency than the most common property crimes. The "others" category, while small, indicates the presence of crimes like arson and fraud, suggesting a need for vigilance in these areas as well. *Safety Score and Grade:** Without benchmarking data or a standardized scoring system, it's difficult to assign a precise safety score or grade. However, based on the calculated crime rates, we can make some relative assessments. A crime rate of 800 per 100,000 is relatively moderate. A safety grade would depend on how this compares to state and national averages. *Crime Map Data and Zip Codes:** To generate crime map data, we would need the specific locations of each incident. This data could then be used to visualize crime hotspots within Belton. The primary zip code for Belton, MO is 64012.
