To calculate the crime rate per 100k population, we need the population of Raymore. According to the US Census Bureau, Raymore had an estimated population of **24,059** in 2022. With 31 total crimes, the crime rate per 100,000 residents is approximately 128.85. Further context requires data on median income, which, according to recent estimates, is around **$103,000**. To determine a safety score and grade, we need to compare Raymore's crime rates to national and state averages. Without those benchmarks, it's difficult to assign a meaningful score. However, given the relatively low number of reported crimes, it suggests a potentially safer environment compared to areas with higher crime rates. To calculate violent and property crime rates, we can use the provided data. Violent crimes consist of assault, homicide, and sex offenses, totaling 22 incidents. This translates to a violent crime rate of approximately 91.44 per 100,000 residents. Property crimes, as mentioned earlier, consist of 9 incidents, resulting in a property crime rate of approximately 37.41 per 100,000 residents. Crime map data, which would visually represent the geographic distribution of crimes within Raymore, is not provided in the JSON. Similarly, specific zip code data and their corresponding crime statistics are absent. Based on the available data, Raymore appears to have a relatively low overall crime rate. The high proportion of assault offenses within the violent crime category suggests that addressing factors contributing to these incidents could further improve safety. The low rates of homicide and sex offenses are positive indicators. However, a more detailed analysis, including comparisons to state and national averages, demographic factors, and socioeconomic conditions, would provide a more nuanced understanding of crime trends and inform targeted crime prevention strategies.
