If we’re being totally honest, Georgia is just a downright charming place to live. But even more so, Georgia is also known as a safe place to live as well. Each year, FBI crime data is compiled and analyzed in order to determine the safest cities in Georgia. The information calculated involves certain metrics like property crimes, violent crimes, larceny, and the like, then assessed in conjunction with per capita numbers. Thanks to the team over at SafeWise, the annual Safest Cities report was calculated and for Georgia, there may be some surprises on the list.

Also, keep in mind, SafeWise uses terms like “dangerous” and “safest” to describe the calculated crime data from the FBI. It is not a characterization of any particular city or area.
