What are the most dangerous cities in Georgia? To get the lowdown on the cities in Georgia that are the most dangerous with the highest crime rates, we consulted the most recent FBI Uniform Crime Report. Our rankings are based solely on the data publicly released each year by the FBI. A crime is a crime, so we took both violent and property crimes into account when compiling our list of Georgia’s most dangerous cities. Our list of dangerous cities, however, are ranked according to violent crime rate.*
We realize that this topic is inherently controversial in nature and hits close to home. We are aware that there are many different ways to present this data, but when compiling this list we chose to consider not just murder rate, but both violent and property crimes. Our list is ranked by violent crime rate, but check each city listing to get a general idea of the city’s ranking in terms of overall criminal offenses. Only cities with populations over 5,000 were included. We also excluded cities with overall crime rates under 70.

I used to live on Willacoochie road...surprised little Douglas made the list. I now am back in my home county of Douglas...where high speed chases and thug criminals from Atlanta come to die.
Stpne Mountain is our zipcode. But then what would one expect with Hank Johnson as ones rep? The Bell curve is big at work here. We were burgaled a few years back and many of the neighbors have also had “problems”.
Snuffy, You’re going to LOVE living in Hiawassee! My youngest son went his first two years of college to Young Harris College just 3 miles up the road from you.
While he was there, we fell in love with the mountains and ended up buying some acreage and now we are building our retirement home in the mountains, and will move there full time when it is finished. We settled on a location some ways north of you, but same concept, small mountain town. We have found that our neighbors, for the most part, are God-fearin’, gun-tottin’, self-reliant, and America-lovin’ people.
Your life expectancy in College Park is about 24 hours. LOL!
Thanks for the ping. My city is not on the list.
Several of the high crime areas, such as East Point, Hapeville, etc., are Inside the Perimeter - i.e. Atlanta.
Most of the rest of them seem to be in south Georgia. We drive through Cordelle and Albany on a regular basis. Need to keep an eye out, I guess.
