What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Stone Mountain, GA
Comparable rate records
Stone Mountain's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Georgia cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Stone Mountain's 538.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Millen (540.2), Douglasville (532.1), Alma (544.7), Newnan (552.0). 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 363.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 538.0 in 2024 (+48.1%). The highest observed value was 538.0 in 2024 and the lowest 258.0 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Stone Mountain reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Georgia cities
At 538.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Stone Mountain ranks 34 of 186 — above 152 of the 185 other Georgia cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +170.1% against the cohort median of 199.2. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 55.7% of reported property offenses in Stone Mountain, against a cohort median of 81.3%. The remainder is burglary (18) and motor vehicle theft (36). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 22.3% of the 157 Part I offenses reported in Stone Mountain for 2024, against a median of 12.5% across comparable Georgia cities — a gap of 9.8 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 Stone Mountain'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.
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.
