The GEOID 16000US4878208 corresponds to the city of West University Place, Texas. To calculate the crime rate per 100k population, the population of West University Place is required. According to the US Census Bureau, the estimated population of West University Place in 2022 was 15,649. With 13 total crimes, the crime rate per 100k would be approximately 83.1 crimes per 100,000 residents. Further context requires data on the median income of West University Place. According to the US Census Bureau, the median household income in West University Place is $248,889. To determine a safety score and grade, violent crime rate, and property crime rate, we need to categorize the crimes accordingly. In this dataset, "assault" is considered a violent crime, while "property_crime" encompasses property-related offenses. Therefore, the violent crime count is 6, and the property crime count is 5. The violent crime rate per 100k would be approximately 38.3 per 100,000 residents. The property crime rate per 100k would be approximately 31.9 per 100,000 residents. A safety score and grade would typically be calculated by comparing these rates to national averages and considering other factors like community policing efforts and socioeconomic conditions. Without those benchmarks, a precise safety score and grade cannot be determined. Crime map data, which would visually represent the geographic distribution of these crimes, is not provided in this dataset. Similarly, zip code-specific data is absent. West University Place is primarily served by the 77005 zip code. Based on this limited dataset, the insights suggest that assault is the most frequent type of crime in this area, followed by property crimes. The presence of bribery incidents also warrants attention. A more detailed analysis would require a larger dataset spanning a longer period, including demographic information, and comparison to regional and national crime statistics.
