CivicScout counts Metro Nashville Police Department incident reports that carry a location, traffic crashes and open property-standards cases inside the Downtown planning-community outline. The department’s public data holds almost no rape or other sexual-offense reports, so the counts understate violent crime and cannot show that an area has little of it. Incidents handled by airport, campus and satellite-city police departments do not appear.
