According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Peachtree City, GA shows violent crime at 22 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 815.8 per 100,000. Violent crime runs 94% below the U.S. average. PlainCrime assigns grade A+ from those rates. Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Peachtree City reported 9 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 40,820. 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
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 46.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 22.0 in 2024 (-52.8%). The highest observed value was 46.7 in 2020 and the lowest 22.0 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Peachtree City's 22.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Acworth (26.8), Senoia (16.0), Cleveland (28.2), Johns Creek (35.8). 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 22.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Peachtree City ranks 159 of 186 — above 27 of the 185 other Georgia cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -89.1% 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 2.6% of the 342 Part I offenses reported in Peachtree City for 2024, against a median of 12.5% across comparable Georgia cities — a gap of 9.9 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-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 90.1% of reported property offenses in Peachtree City, against a cohort median of 81.3%. The remainder is burglary (23) and motor vehicle theft (10). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Peachtree City'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 9 reported violent incidents in a population of 40,820. 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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
