How to read the map
Each colored polygon represents a Census ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA). Higher scores indicate safer modeled conditions, and orange and red indicate lower modeled safety. The embedded map is a public preview, while authenticated API responses can return more detail for production use.
How ZIP code estimates work
USPS ZIP codes are delivery routes, while Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) are generalized areas for mapping and statistics. This page uses the matching Census ZCTA for its ZIP code estimate, so exact latitude and longitude lookups remain the better choice for property-level decisions. For broader context, compare the York County map.
