To provide a more comprehensive analysis, we need to associate the GEOID with a specific location and supplement the crime data with demographic information. Let's assume, for the sake of this analysis, that GEOID 16000US4558030 corresponds to **Summerville, South Carolina**. According to recent estimates, Summerville has a population of approximately 53,546 and a median household income of around $73,000. To calculate the crime rate per 100,000 residents, we would divide the total crime count (108) by the population (53,546) and multiply by 100,000. This yields a crime rate of approximately 201.7 per 100,000 residents. To determine the violent crime rate, we would need to sum the incidents of assault (34) and sex offenses (1), resulting in 35 violent crimes. Dividing this by the population and multiplying by 100,000 gives a violent crime rate of approximately 65.4 per 100,000 residents. The property crime rate is calculated by dividing the number of property crimes (52) by the population and multiplying by 100,000, resulting in a rate of approximately 97.1 per 100,000 residents. The safety score and safety grade are subjective measures that typically incorporate various factors, including crime rates, community policing efforts, and resident perceptions. Without a specific scoring model, it's difficult to assign a precise safety score or grade. However, based on the calculated crime rates, Summerville might be considered to have a moderate safety profile. The crime map data, zip codes data are not available in the JSON data. *Insights:** The data suggests that property crime is a more significant concern than violent crime in this area. The high proportion of larceny/theft offenses within the property crime category indicates a potential need for increased preventative measures against theft. While violent crime rates are lower, the presence of assault and sex offenses necessitates continued attention to public safety and victim support services. The relatively high number of fraud offenses within the "others" category suggests a potential vulnerability to financial crimes.
