What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Mount Juliet, TN
Comparable rate records
Mount Juliet's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Tennessee cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Mount Juliet's 158.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Greenbrier (158.3), Loudon (160.0), Bells (161.3), Etowah (161.3). 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
Mount Juliet sits mid-pack among comparable Tennessee cities
At 158.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Mount Juliet ranks 125 of 176 — above 51 of the 175 other Tennessee cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -47.5% 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 193.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 158.9 in 2024 (-18.0%). The highest observed value was 193.9 in 2020 and the lowest 104.4 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 90.4% of reported property offenses in Mount Juliet, against a cohort median of 77.1%. The remainder is burglary (14) and motor vehicle theft (27). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 14.1% of the 495 Part I offenses reported in Mount Juliet for 2024, against a median of 18.9% across comparable Tennessee cities — a gap of 4.8 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.
Property counts dominate Mount Juliet'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.
