What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Chickamauga, GA
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Chickamauga reported 0 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 3,106. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 61.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 0.0 in 2024 (-100.0%). The highest observed value was 291.0 in 2023 and the lowest 0.0 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Chickamauga reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Georgia cities
At 0.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Chickamauga ranks 162 of 186 — above 0 of the 185 other Georgia cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -100.0% against the cohort median of 202.7. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Comparable rate records
Chickamauga's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Georgia cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Chickamauga's 0.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Alto (0.0), Auburn (0.0), Bartow (0.0), Blairsville (0.0). These are same-year agency submissions that pass the same completeness screen, not a claim that the cities have identical conditions. They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 0.0% of the 13 Part I offenses reported in Chickamauga for 2024, against a median of 12.5% across comparable Georgia cities — a gap of 12.5 points. Offense mix is shaped by which agencies report and how incidents are classified as well as by the underlying offenses, so it describes the reported record rather than a settled difference in conditions.
Property counts dominate Chickamauga's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; cities that fail the completeness test stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
Based on 0 reported violent incidents in a population of 3,106. At this volume, one additional or one fewer report can shift the rate and letter grade noticeably; small-city crime counts are inherently more volatile year to year than large-city counts, so treat this grade as a data point, not a precise ranking.
Small-city offense counts above are voluntary UCR submissions, not neighbourhood advice. Year-to-year swings can look large when the population base is modest.
