How Georgia ranks

A state's raw firm count and its disciplinary clean-record rate measure two different things, and they do not always move together. A jurisdiction can host a large number of broker-dealer firms simply because it is a major financial hub, while a smaller state with far fewer registered firms can post a cleaner disciplinary record in relative terms, or vice versa. Comparing both rankings side by side, rather than looking at either figure in isolation, gives a fuller picture of what is actually happening on the ground in a given state.

By firm count, Georgia is #10 of 56 states and territories. By clean-record rate (Grade A share, among the 33 states with at least 10 registered firms, a floor that keeps a state with only a handful of firms from swinging to an extreme rate on a tiny sample), it ranks #12 of 33. The two ranks are broadly in line with each other, this state's disciplinary profile scales with its firm population about as expected, neither notably better nor worse than its size would suggest.
