What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Collierville, TN
Comparable rate records
Collierville's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Tennessee cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Collierville's 150.1 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Jonesborough (149.6), Rogersville (151.4), Tiptonville (152.5), Elizabethton (147.6). These are same-year agency submissions that pass the same completeness screen, not a claim that the cities have identical conditions. They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Position in the state cohort
Collierville sits mid-pack among comparable Tennessee cities
At 150.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Collierville ranks 129 of 176 — above 47 of the 175 other Tennessee cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -50.4% against the cohort median of 302.8. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 10.6% of the 728 Part I offenses reported in Collierville for 2024, against a median of 18.9% across comparable Tennessee cities — a gap of 8.3 points. Offense mix is shaped by which agencies report and how incidents are classified as well as by the underlying offenses, so it describes the reported record rather than a settled difference in conditions.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 176.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 150.1 in 2024 (-14.8%). The highest observed value was 176.1 in 2020 and the lowest 114.2 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Collierville's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; cities that fail the completeness test stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
On a large city row, these are citywide reported offense totals - not neighbourhood advice. Conditions vary by place and time; reporting rates differ across jurisdictions.
