What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Sumner County, TN
Position in the state cohort
Sumner County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Tennessee counties
At 57.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Sumner County ranks 85 of 92 — above 7 of the 91 other Tennessee counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -59.3% 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 35.9% of the 315 Part I offenses reported in Sumner County for 2024, against a median of 28.8% across comparable Tennessee counties — a gap of 7.1 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 lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 61.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 57.6 in 2024 (-6.6%). The highest observed value was 66.2 in 2021 and the lowest 57.6 in 2024. 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.
