Hiram has a Safety Grade of D−; no graded town is nearer. Dallas’ police reported to the FBI for 2024 and 2025 but not 2023, so there is no Safety Grade: the grade needs all three years, 2023–2025. Out to 25 miles, the count of graded towns reaches 16.
For every 1,000 residents, about 5 property crimes reported

The nearest Georgia towns with a Safety Grade
Straight-line distance from the center of Dallas. Nearby towns can differ a lot from Dallas.
Each town’s own police figures, per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025.
11 people died in crashes on Dallas’s roads in 2019–2023
Dallas had 10 fatal crashes in five years, in which 11 people died.
That is 15.0 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, above the median for Georgia towns of 5,000–25,000 people (11.0, 121 towns).
Deaths are counted where the crash happened, not where the people lived: a highway through town adds through-traffic deaths, and residents’ own risk on roads elsewhere isn’t here. Town rates sit below state and U.S. rates because a third of fatal crashes happen outside any town. Road safety is described here and is not part of the Safety Grade.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- It’s reported crime. Only incidents reported to and recorded by police appear here. Many crimes are never reported to police.
- One number for all of Dallas. A town-wide rate doesn’t show where incidents happen, and that can differ a lot from one part of town to another.
- Visitors count too. Incidents involving people who work, shop or visit are counted against Dallas’ residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (15,301 in 2025); our figure for Dallas is 15,402 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
