Position in the state cohort
Gibson County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Tennessee counties
At 75.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Gibson County ranks 74 of 92 — above 18 of the 91 other Tennessee counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -46.7% against the cohort median of 141.3. Counties 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 122.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 75.4 in 2024 (-38.7%). The highest observed value was 122.9 in 2020 and the lowest 63.5 in 2023. 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 32.8% of the 116 Part I offenses reported in Gibson County for 2024, against a median of 28.8% across comparable Tennessee counties — a gap of 4.0 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.
On a large county row, county figures aggregate every participating agency inside the county. Participation is voluntary. Per-100,000 rates use a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census county population, never a Table 10 field; unmatched counties stay count-only. A large county line encloses very different communities.
