The verdict
Millersville earns a B safety grade: violent crime runs 32% below the U.S. average, placing it higher-crime than most U.S. cities.
Based on 15 reported violent incidents in a population of 6,295. At this volume, one additional or one fewer report can shift the rate and letter grade noticeably; small-city crime counts are inherently more volatile year to year than large-city counts, so treat this grade as a data point, not a precise ranking.
Small-count caution
Millersville reported 15 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 6,295. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 513.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 238.3 in 2024 (-53.6%). The highest observed value was 513.9 in 2020 and the lowest 204.7 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Millersville's 238.3 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Dayton (241.1), White House (234.9), Baxter (241.8), Halls (245.5). 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 34.1% of the 44 Part I offenses reported in Millersville for 2024, against a median of 18.7% across comparable Tennessee cities — a gap of 15.4 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 238.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Millersville ranks 106 of 176 — above 70 of the 175 other Tennessee cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -21.3% 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.
Property counts dominate Millersville'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.

Small-city offense counts above are voluntary UCR submissions, not neighbourhood advice. Year-to-year swings can look large when the population base is modest.
