How Safe is Dallas? One List Says 8th Safest in Georgia

Dallas, 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, Dallas was listed No. 8. 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 Dallas:

“With no murders, nine rapes, 60 robberies, and 111 assaults per 100,00 people, Dallas had very low violent crime and even lower property crime, ranked 11th.

This place did seem to have a fairly high number of total crimes at 2,331 per 100,000, but let’s put that in a little perspective. Columbus had a total of 6,251 crimes per 100,000 people, which included nine murders.”
