PlainCrime graded 187 Georgia cities with reportable crime data against national benchmarks, producing an A+ through F score for each jurisdiction. Grades weigh violent and property crime rates: cities more than 50% below the national average typically earn A or A+, while cities significantly above average receive D or F ratings.

Across the 187 graded Georgia cities, 11 earned A+, 13 earned A, 9 received B, 12 landed at C, 8 received D, and 134 fell to F in the 2024 scoring. The highest-rated city is Bartow with a A+ grade (score: 100/100, violent rate 0/100K). The lowest-rated city is Americus with a F grade (score: 0/100, violent rate 1653.7/100K).

Roughly 13% of graded cities in Georgia achieved an A or A+ rating, while 76% received a D or F. Cities missing from this table either did not submit complete 2024 UCR data, fell below the minimum population threshold for reliable rate calculation, or report through consolidated agencies that aggregate into county or regional totals instead of individual city figures. Grade boundaries use the national violent and property crime rate averages for 2024 as the reference point, so grades are directly comparable between Georgia and other states on the site.
