Georgia crime rate
The FBI's estimate of reported crime in Georgia, every year since 1979, with the math shown.
Violent crime · 2025
296.9 per 100,000 people
The FBI estimates 33,554 violent crimes were reported in Georgia in 2025, for a population of 11,302,748. That works out to 296.9 for every 100,000 people. Its estimate for the whole United States that year is 327.6.
33,554 ÷ 11,302,748 × 100,000 = 296.9
Property crime · 2025
1,409.3 per 100,000 people
The FBI estimates 159,289 property crimes were reported in Georgia in 2025, for a population of 11,302,748. That works out to 1,409.3 for every 100,000 people. Its estimate for the whole United States that year is 1,534.8.
159,289 ÷ 11,302,748 × 100,000 = 1,409.3
In 2025, 414 of Georgia's 806 police agencies (51%) sent the FBI data. Where agencies did not report, or reported part of a year, the FBI filled in the gap by its own method, so these are the FBI's estimates, not a count of reports. They count crimes reported to police, not all crime, and say nothing about any one city, street or home.

Each cell is the FBI's estimated count, then the rate per 100,000 people. “Agencies reporting” is the share of the state's police agencies that sent the FBI data that year; the lower it is, the more of the estimate rests on the FBI's method. From 2013 the rape count uses the FBI's revised definition, which raised violent crime totals, so years before and after 2013 are not directly comparable.
Reported crime by agency in Georgia
For what each police department or sheriff's office in Georgia actually reported, with no estimates at all, see the A to Z list of Georgia agencies.
How this is worked out
Estimated offenses ÷ population × 100,000. Both figures come from the FBI's estimated crimes file on the Crime Data Explorer downloads page; the share of agencies reporting comes from the FBI's participation file there. CrimeTally does not estimate anything itself and does not rank states. Read the full method and its limits.
