What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Statham, GA
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Statham reported 3 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 3,192. 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
Statham's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Georgia cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Statham's 94.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Milton (93.7), Dallas (98.2), Bowdon (89.7), Fairburn (101.3). 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
Statham sits mid-pack among comparable Georgia cities
At 94.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Statham ranks 137 of 186 — above 49 of the 185 other Georgia cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -53.6% 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 make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 16.7% of the 18 Part I offenses reported in Statham for 2024, against a median of 12.5% across comparable Georgia cities — a gap of 4.2 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 Statham'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 3 reported violent incidents in a population of 3,192. 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.
