Position in the state cohort
Worth County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Georgia counties
At 250.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Worth County ranks 9 of 94 — above 85 of the 93 other Georgia counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +126.2% 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 33.3% of the 156 Part I offenses reported in Worth County for 2024, against a median of 16.8% across comparable Georgia counties — a gap of 16.6 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-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 55.8% of reported property offenses in Worth County, against a cohort median of 67.8%. The remainder is burglary (30) and motor vehicle theft (16). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window close to where it started
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 250.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 250.2 in 2024 (+0.0%). The highest observed value was 250.2 in 2020 and the lowest 168.4 in 2023. 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.
