The verdict
Mosheim earns a D safety grade: violent crime runs 44% above the U.S. average, placing it among the highest-crime cities in the country.
Based on 13 reported violent incidents in a population of 2,563. 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.
2021–2024 direction
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 127.4 per 100,000 in 2021 to 507.2 in 2024 (+298.2%). The highest observed value was 507.2 in 2024 and the lowest 127.4 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Small-count caution
Mosheim reported 13 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 2,563. 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.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Mosheim's 507.2 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are South Fulton (503.9), Greenfield (496.8), Decherd (526.7), Estill Springs (528.4). 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
At 507.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Mosheim ranks 37 of 176 — above 139 of the 175 other Tennessee cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +70.0% 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.
Property counts dominate Mosheim'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.
