Once the population is known, the crime rate per 100k can be calculated by dividing the total crime count (664) by the population and multiplying by 100,000. The violent crime rate would be calculated using the counts for robbery, assault, and sex offenses, while the property crime rate would use the property crime count. A safety score and grade would typically be derived from a combination of these crime rates, potentially weighted based on the severity of different offenses.
