What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Madison County, GA
Position in the state cohort
Madison County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Georgia counties
At 249.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Madison County ranks 10 of 94 — above 84 of the 93 other Georgia counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +125.2% against the cohort median of 110.6. 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 27.9% of the 269 Part I offenses reported in Madison County for 2024, against a median of 16.8% across comparable Georgia counties — a gap of 11.1 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 close to where it started
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 245.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 249.0 in 2024 (+1.4%). The highest observed value was 298.8 in 2021 and the lowest 179.3 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
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.
