Is ZIP code 30656 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 30656 sits within Walton County, GA. The figures below are the county's own FBI UCR numbers for 2024, the most accurate available statistic for this location, not a ZIP-specific calculation.

Walton County reported a violent-crime rate of 28 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 187 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 27 reported violent incidents across a county population of 96,673, this count is too low to support a reliable per-100K rate comparison. It may reflect a genuinely low-crime county, or it may reflect incomplete agency-level reporting to the FBI UCR Program for this county and year, small county-level counts are common in FBI Table 10 and should be treated as a data point, not a precise safety ranking.

ZIP 30656 carries a Census-reported population of 17,812, ranking #3 of 6 ZIPs in Walton County, spread across 71.54 square miles (about 249 people per square mile). For a full breakdown of Walton County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Walton County crime page linked below.
