Once the city and state are identified, demographic data can be used to calculate crime rates and compare them to state and national averages. This comparison would provide insights into the relative safety of the area. For example, if the city is Newark, New Jersey, and the population is known, the property crime rate can be calculated by dividing the number of property crimes (431) by the population and multiplying by 100,000. This rate can then be compared to the average property crime rate in New Jersey and the United States to assess whether the area is safer or more dangerous than average. Similarly, the violent crime rate can be calculated using the assault data. The distribution of crime across different zip codes within the city would provide further granularity in understanding crime patterns.
