Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Grady County reported 13 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 26,236. 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
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 133.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 49.6 in 2024 (-62.9%). The highest observed value was 133.4 in 2020 and the lowest 49.6 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Grady County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Georgia counties
At 49.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Grady County ranks 76 of 94 — above 18 of the 93 other Georgia counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -55.5% 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.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 40.0% of reported property offenses in Grady County, against a cohort median of 67.8%. The remainder is burglary (19) and motor vehicle theft (11). 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 20.6% of the 63 Part I offenses reported in Grady County for 2024, against a median of 16.8% across comparable Georgia counties — a gap of 3.9 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.
Mid-size county rows still aggregate voluntary UCR submissions. Per-100,000 rates need a matched 2020 Census population; unmatched stay count-only. County-wide totals rarely describe any single town inside the line.
