What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for McMinnville, TN
Comparable rate records
McMinnville's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Tennessee cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to McMinnville's 638.3 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Crossville (646.3), Manchester (653.2), Athens (622.1), Millington (602.5). 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
McMinnville reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Tennessee cities
At 638.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, McMinnville ranks 25 of 176 — above 151 of the 175 other Tennessee cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +113.9% against the cohort median of 298.4. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 27.7% of the 318 Part I offenses reported in McMinnville for 2024, against a median of 18.7% across comparable Tennessee cities — a gap of 8.9 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 660.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 638.3 in 2024 (-3.3%). The highest observed value was 841.2 in 2021 and the lowest 501.7 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate McMinnville'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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
