What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for White House, TN

Comparable rate records

White House's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Tennessee cohort

The nearest comparable 2024 records to White House's 234.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Millersville (238.3), Dayton (241.1), 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.

2020–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 193.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 234.9 in 2024 (+21.5%). The highest observed value was 234.9 in 2024 and the lowest 161.0 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

Offense mix

Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix

Violent offenses are 24.2% of the 157 Part I offenses reported in White House for 2024, against a median of 18.7% across comparable Tennessee cities — a gap of 5.5 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.

Position in the state cohort

White House sits mid-pack among comparable Tennessee cities

At 234.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, White House ranks 107 of 176 — above 69 of the 175 other Tennessee cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -22.4% 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 White House'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.
