At 170.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Spalding County ranks 23 of 94 — above 71 of the 93 other Georgia counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator.

2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 211.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 170.9 in 2024 (-19.0%). The highest observed value was 231.8 in 2022 and the lowest 170.9 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 20.9% of the 549 Part I offenses reported in Spalding County for 2024, against a median of 16.8% across comparable Georgia counties — 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.
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.
