What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Humphreys County, TN
Position in the state cohort
Humphreys County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Tennessee counties
At 284.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Humphreys County ranks 7 of 92 — above 85 of the 91 other Tennessee counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +103.2% 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
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 47.8% of the 113 Part I offenses reported in Humphreys County for 2024, against a median of 28.8% across comparable Tennessee counties — a gap of 19.0 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 226.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 284.4 in 2024 (+25.6%). The highest observed value was 394.9 in 2023 and the lowest 173.8 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 44.1% of reported property offenses in Humphreys County, against a cohort median of 60.4%. The remainder is burglary (15) and motor vehicle theft (18). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
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.
