What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Gordon County, GA
Position in the state cohort
Gordon County sits mid-pack among comparable Georgia counties
At 100.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Gordon County ranks 56 of 94 — above 38 of the 93 other Georgia counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -9.5% against the cohort median of 111.4. Counties 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 20.1% of the 288 Part I offenses reported in Gordon County for 2024, against a median of 16.8% across comparable Georgia counties — a gap of 3.4 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
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 106.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 100.8 in 2024 (-4.9%). The highest observed value was 128.6 in 2021 and the lowest 100.8 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
On a large county row, county figures aggregate every participating agency inside the county. Participation is voluntary. Per-100,000 rates use a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census county population, never a Table 10 field; unmatched counties stay count-only. A large county line encloses very different communities.
