The closest graded town is College Park, 2 miles away, at D−. East Point’s 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. Drive 10 miles in any direction and you reach 5 towns with grades of their own.
For every 1,000 residents, about 45 property crimes reported

22 people died in crashes on East Point’s roads in 2019–2023
East Point had 21 fatal crashes in five years, in which 22 people died; 8 were pedestrians. 5 died in crashes on an Interstate.
That is 11.5 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, above the median for Georgia towns of 25,000–100,000 people (7.9, 40 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 East Point. 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 East Point’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (38,291 in 2025); our figure for East Point is 38,225 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
