Pelham, GA Crime Analysis

Based on the provided crime data for the area represented by GEOID 16000US1359976, a total of 30 crimes were recorded. Property crime constitutes the largest category, accounting for 15 incidents. Within property crime, Destruction/Damage/Vandalism of Property is the most prevalent sub-category with 10 incidents, followed by Larceny/Theft Offenses with 4 incidents, and Motor Vehicle Theft with a single incident. Assault is the second largest category with 14 incidents, all classified as Assault Offenses. The "others" category accounts for a single incident, specifically Counterfeiting/Forgery. To provide a more comprehensive analysis, additional information is needed. The GEOID 16000US1359976 corresponds to a specific census tract in the United States. To determine the city and state, this GEOID would need to be cross-referenced with a geographic database. Once the location is identified, demographic data such as population and median income can be obtained from sources like the US Census Bureau. With the population data, the crime rate per 100,000 residents can be calculated by dividing the total crime count (30) by the population and multiplying by 100,000. The violent crime rate would be calculated similarly, using the count of assault offenses (14). The property crime rate would use the total count of property crimes (15). A safety score and grade are subjective measures that typically incorporate crime rates, community factors, and resident perceptions. These would require a more complex model or access to existing safety ratings for the area. Crime map data would involve plotting the locations of these 30 crimes, which is not possible with the provided data. Similarly, zip code data is not directly available from the GEOID and would require a separate lookup. Based on the limited data, the primary insight is that property crime, particularly vandalism, and assault are the most significant crime concerns in this area. The low incidence of other crimes like counterfeiting suggests these are less pressing issues. A more detailed analysis would require the location, population data, and potentially historical crime trends to understand if these numbers represent an increase, decrease, or typical level of criminal activity for this community.
