East Georgia Regional Medical Center in Statesboro serves the Bulloch County community with strong patient-recommendation figures: 89% of patients said they would recommend it per U.S. News, 73% per Healthgrades, and an overall patient-experience score of 85 out of 100 on survey measures.

Crime Data: Sources Disagree
CrimeGrade.org gives Statesboro a C- overall grade, with violent crime rated C (44th percentile for safety) and property crime rated D+ (25th percentile). NeighborhoodScout, using a different methodology, describes Statesboro's overall crime rate (about 28 per 1,000) as one of the highest in America across all community sizes, though its violent-crime-specific rate (about 4 per 1,000, a 1-in-269 chance) reads closer to a moderate risk level. These sources disagree in framing and severity -- disclosed directly rather than resolved by choosing the more favorable one.
