Small-count caution
Johns Creek reported 29 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 81,056. 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.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Johns Creek's 35.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Jefferson (36.1), Sylvania (38.1), Cleveland (28.2), Acworth (26.8). 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 35.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Johns Creek ranks 156 of 186 — above 30 of the 185 other Georgia cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -82.3% 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 6.3% of the 464 Part I offenses reported in Johns Creek for 2024, against a median of 12.5% across comparable Georgia cities — a gap of 6.3 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 39.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 35.8 in 2024 (-10.1%). The highest observed value was 49.6 in 2023 and the lowest 24.4 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Johns Creek'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 29 reported violent incidents in a population of 81,056. 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.
On a large city row, these are citywide reported offense totals - not neighbourhood advice. Conditions vary by place and time; reporting rates differ across jurisdictions.
