FBI UCR Data Snapshot: Harriman, TN

Harriman, TN, reporting population 6,246 in 2024, recorded 30 violent crimes and 224 property crimes in the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program's Table 8 city-level submissions. The city's violent crime rate works out to 480.3 per 100,000 residents, while the property crime rate reaches 3586.3 per 100,000. Combining those two rates against national benchmarks yields a composite safety grade of F (High Risk), scoring 22 out of 100.

Within the violent crime count, aggravated assault accounted for 23 incidents, robbery 3, murder 0, and rape 4 in 2024. Property crime splits into larceny-theft (200), burglary (11), motor vehicle theft (13), and arson (3). Larceny-theft and other property offenses typically dominate city crime counts, and larceny-theft leads Harriman's mix at 78.7% of all Part I offenses.

Against the national violent crime average, Harriman runs 36% above the US benchmark, and 20% below the Tennessee statewide rate. Translated to per-capita risk, the 2024 figures imply roughly a 1 in 25 statistical chance of being named in a crime report that year, narrowing to 1 in 208 for a violent offense. UCR figures reflect offenses reported to and submitted by local law enforcement and may undercount unreported crime.

These figures come from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program, which compiles offenses voluntarily submitted by local law enforcement agencies. Rates are expressed per 100,000 residents so a small town and a large city sit on the same scale, 50 burglaries mean something very different in a town of 2,000 than in a city of 500,000. Two caveats matter when reading any city's numbers. First, a year with missing or partial agency reporting can understate true crime, so a sudden drop sometimes reflects a reporting gap rather than a real safety gain. Second, UCR counts reported offenses, not convictions, and many crimes are never reported at all. Treat a grade as one input among several, not a final verdict on a place.
