Crimes reported to the FBI per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. “Rest of GA” is every other Georgia city and town in the FBI’s tables; the U.S. figure is the FBI’s national estimate as published, averaged over the three years. The FBI publishes no national homicide or robbery rate in our data, so those compare with all U.S. cities and towns in its tables.

32 people died in crashes on Stockbridge’s roads in 2019–2023
Stockbridge had 30 fatal crashes in five years, in which 32 people died; 11 were pedestrians. 12 died in crashes on an Interstate.
That is 17.9 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 Stockbridge. 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 Stockbridge’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (35,932 in 2025); our figure for Stockbridge is 36,331 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
