I live in Peachtree City, bro and was born and raised in Georgia. Atlanta is a shithole and is extremely dangerous.

Data doesn't lie. Why are you so pressed about it? Even Atlantans will tell you it's bad. You can have state pride and still admit Atlanta is dangerous.

On average around 17 or 18 white people per year are murdered in Atlanta. Take away the dope deals gone wrong, and the number of white murder victims is probably in the single digits. The world out there is not nearly as scary as your online echo chamber.

This analysis is particularly important because of the large spike in violence that Atlanta and other cities have experienced amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, Atlanta tallied 157 homicides, with the City recording 158 homicides in 2021.

In Atlanta, victims and suspects of homicides were largely Black, male, and in the 18 to 34 age range. 84 percent of victims and 88 percent of suspects in homicides were male. Over 85 percent of known victims and suspects in homicides were Black, while Black citizens comprise 49.8 percent of the overall population in Atlanta.6 The average age for victims of a homicide was 31.9 years, while the average age of a suspect of a homicide was 27.1 years.
