Acworth Ranked Second-Safest City in Georgia

Acworth, Ga., is a pretty safe place to live.

But you already knew that. It's one of the reasons you live here.

The people at Movoto, the real estate brokerage website that frequently produces such lists, agrees.

In its Top 10 list of Safest Places in Georgia, Acworth was listed No. 2. Johns Creek in north Fulton County is No. 1.

To compile the list, Movoto looked at 2012 FBI crime stats for places with populations over 10,000.

This is what Movoto had to say about Acworth:

“Acworth had no rapes or murders reported in 2012, and only 19 robberies and 33 assaults per 100,000 people. These stats make this place the second least violent city on our list.

These numbers resulted in locals here only having a 1 in 49 chance of being a victim of a crime, most likely a property crime.

It might not be as safe as our first place location, which offers a 1 in 141 chance, but it’s far better than other cities, like Atlanta, where residents had a 1 in 12 chance of being a victim.”
