What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Haywood County, TN
Position in the state cohort
Haywood County sits mid-pack among comparable Tennessee counties
At 173.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Haywood County ranks 35 of 92 — above 57 of the 91 other Tennessee counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +24.0% against the cohort median of 139.9. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 23.1% of the 134 Part I offenses reported in Haywood County for 2024, against a median of 29.0% across comparable Tennessee counties — a gap of 5.9 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 151.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 173.5 in 2024 (+14.8%). The highest observed value was 173.5 in 2024 and the lowest 112.0 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Mid-size county rows still aggregate voluntary UCR submissions. Per-100,000 rates need a matched 2020 Census population; unmatched stay count-only. County-wide totals rarely describe any single town inside the line.
