What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Greene County, TN

Position in the state cohort

At 249.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Greene County ranks 16 of 92 — above 76 of the 91 other Tennessee counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator.

2020–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 292.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 249.5 in 2024 (-14.6%). The highest observed value was 292.2 in 2020 and the lowest 238.1 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

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.
