To provide a more comprehensive analysis, we need to associate the GEOID with a specific location and supplement the crime data with demographic information. GEOID 16000US2955766 corresponds to the city of St. Robert, Missouri. Based on available data for St. Robert, Missouri: **City Name:** St. Robert **State Name:** Missouri **Population:** Approximately 6,000 (Estimate based on available data) **Median Income:** Approximately $55,000 (Estimate based on available data) Using the provided crime data and the estimated population, we can calculate crime rates per 100,000 residents: **Total Crime Rate per 100k:** (49 / 6,000) * 100,000 = Approximately 817 per 100,000 residents. To break this down further, we need to categorize crimes into violent and property crimes. Based on the provided data: **Violent Crime Rate per 100k:** Assault offenses are typically classified as violent crimes. Therefore, (32 / 6,000) * 100,000 = Approximately 533 per 100,000 residents. We are also including sex offenses as violent crimes. Therefore, (34 / 6,000) * 100,000 = Approximately 567 per 100,000 residents. **Property Crime Rate per 100k:** (13 / 6,000) * 100,000 = Approximately 217 per 100,000 residents. *Crime Categories:** Assault Property Crime (Larceny/Theft, Vandalism, Motor Vehicle Theft) Sex Offenses Fraud *Safety Score and Grade:** Without benchmarking against national averages or other cities in Missouri, it's difficult to assign a precise safety score or grade. However, based on the calculated crime rates, we can make some inferences. A violent crime rate of approximately 567 per 100,000 is relatively high compared to national averages. This suggests that St. Robert may have a lower safety score and grade compared to other cities. *Zip Codes Data:** St. Robert, Missouri, primarily falls under the zip code 65584. *Insights:** The data suggests that assault is a significant concern in St. Robert. While property crime exists, it is less prevalent than assault. The relatively low incidence of sex offenses and fraud, based on this dataset, doesn't necessarily indicate a lack of these crimes, but rather a lower reported or recorded rate compared to assault and property crimes. Further investigation into the factors contributing to the high assault rate would be beneficial.
