Without this information, it's impossible to accurately assess the safety score, safety grade, violent crime rate, and property crime rate. Furthermore, crime map data and zip codes associated with the area are necessary for a complete spatial analysis of crime patterns. Assuming we had the population data, we could calculate the crime rate per 100k by dividing the total crime count (129) by the population and multiplying by 100,000. The violent crime rate would be calculated similarly, using the total number of assault and sex offenses (70 + 6 = 76). The property crime rate would be based on the 51 property crime incidents. These rates would then be compared to state and national averages to determine the relative safety of the area.
