Is Athens, GA Safe? Here's What the Crime Statistics Say
No neighborhood is entirely free from crime—even in vibrant, culturally rich cities like Athens, Georgia. Known for its lively music scene, historic architecture, and the University of Georgia, Athens offers a unique blend of Southern charm and academic vitality. However, like any city, it's essential for residents to stay informed and take proactive steps to ensure their safety.
Here's how Athens compares in terms of crime statistics:
-
Safety Ranking: Athens is safer than only 10% of U.S. cities, indicating a higher crime rate than many other communities nationwide.
-
Violent Crime: The violent crime rate in Athens is 4.35 per 1,000 residents, equating to a 1 in 230 chance of becoming a victim. This rate is slightly above the national median.
-
Property Crime: Property crimes are more prevalent, with a rate of 25.38 per 1,000 residents, meaning there's a 1 in 39 chance of falling victim to property-related offenses.
These statistics highlight that while Athens boasts many attractions and a vibrant community, residents should remain vigilant. Implementing reliable home security measures can significantly reduce the risk of becoming a victim of crime.
Customer Story in Athens, GA
In a Side By Side Comparison, Ackerman's Value Stands Out
The Problem:
-
Nichole was in the market for a new security system and monitoring provider. But what she didn't account for was the sheer number of local and national providers to choose from. She set out to compare each company based on their price, products, services and company guarantees. And on her short list was Ackerman Security.
The Solution:
-
Security consultant John Curry came out to Nichole's home to share how Ackerman prices its services. John provided specific pricing options for each of the features that Nichole was interested in, and even compared those prices to Ackerman's competitors. But what truly won over Nichole was Ackerman's promise to pay double her insurance's deductible in the event of a break-in. That combined with Ackerman's competitive rates was enough to convince Nichole to choose us over a competitor.
