The property crime numbers and the violent crime numbers are stacked. The violent crime is at the bottom of each bar in red.

I think the property crime bars are accidentally following the total crime numbers. They are precisely correlated without leaving any room for the violent crimes.

I think correcting it will still show a general downward trend but might raise the recent property crime bars . . .

Well that would probably knock about a hundred off the list.

I notice that the article says top 50 cities with population over 5,000.

That’s how I got about 370, by subtracting the 159 counties from the number of incorporated municipalities. I mistakenly thought the 536 number included counties.

If you trust wikipedia it says:
“As of May 2013, there were 536 incorporated municipalities in the U.S. state of Georgia. The municipalities are labelled cities or towns, although there is no legal difference between a city or town in Georgia..”
