Without additional data, it's challenging to pinpoint the exact city. However, we can estimate the crime rate per 100,000 residents if we have population data. For instance, if the population is 100,000, the overall crime rate would be 4,160 per 100,000. The violent crime rate (assault, robbery, sex offenses, and homicide) would be 2,578 per 100,000, while the property crime rate would be 1,393 per 100,000. To provide a comprehensive safety analysis, we need additional information such as the city name, population, median income, zip codes, crime map data, safety score, and safety grade. These factors would allow us to compare the crime rates to state and national averages, assess socioeconomic factors contributing to crime, and identify high-crime areas within the city.
