What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Red Bank, TN
Comparable rate records
Red Bank's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Tennessee cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Red Bank's 396.3 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Berry Hill (397.3), Adamsville (394.6), Smithville (399.0), Tullahoma (391.4). 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
Red Bank sits mid-pack among comparable Tennessee cities
At 396.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Red Bank ranks 65 of 176 — above 111 of the 175 other Tennessee cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +32.8% 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 25.3% of the 190 Part I offenses reported in Red Bank for 2024, against a median of 18.7% across comparable Tennessee cities — a gap of 6.5 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 higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 379.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 396.3 in 2024 (+4.4%). The highest observed value was 429.9 in 2022 and the lowest 336.0 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Red Bank'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.
