Are you moving to..... or within..... the greater Atlanta area?  

If so, there’s one thing you must do………research. Moving is a big decision and the more you can learn about your destination area, the better decision you will make for you and your family. In addition to schools, climate, cost of living, real estate prices, health care, and commute time, it’s important to feel safe and secure in your new location. 

As Realtors, we are often asked ……”how safe is this area?” …..”how does it compare with Alpharetta?”....or Marietta?…..or Smyrna?.....or some other Atlanta suburb. So, to help those folks who are relocating to the greater Atlanta area, we’ve compiled below a crime statistics table, obtained from recent FBI crime reports. Now you can compare for yourself the actual crime statistics for all the major population areas around the metro Atlanta area. Although they may not be this year's, or even last year's, please know there's quite a delay in getting these statistics from the FBI, but the reality is they haven't changed much from year to year. The numbers have been normalized to represent the number of crimes per 100,000 population.
