What these scores mean for ZIP 92227, Imperial

Scores 80 out of 100, which is good and lower than 99% of areas in United States. In practice, reported crime is low for its size. What it measures: How safe the area is, from reported crime adjusted for population, with burglary and robbery counting most. How it is worked out: No SAPS station data for this suburb yet — safety is estimated from data-backed suburbs nearby. This is an estimate from wider-area data, not measured for this area itself. Source: Estimated from nearby areas (estimated).
Affordability: 50/100 · Below average
Scores 50 out of 100, which is below average and lower than 99% of areas in United States. What it measures: How average rent compares with what households here typically earn.

Source: Stats SA income & rental index (ACS 2020-2024 5-Year Estimates).
Schools: 12/100 · Weak
