These are offenses reported by the Nashville police agency to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program for the 2024 reporting year. They count offenses reported to and recorded by police, which is not the same as offenses that occurred: reporting rates differ by offense type and by community.
Rates are per 100,000 residents, computed against the population the agency reported for the same year. Comparing a rate to another city's rate is only meaningful when both are drawn from the same reporting year, which is why the year appears beside every figure on this page.
This page describes the city of Nashville as a whole. It does not describe any individual street, block or address, and no figure here should be read as a statement about a particular property.
