Downtown Crime Map & Reported Offense Data

Crimes cover the Downtown planning community (the boundary outlined on the map), over the last 12 months. Crime is compared per resident (rate), so a large, busy area can have a high total but a lower rate; crash and property-standards case counts are compared to the average Nashville neighborhood. Source: Metro Nashville open data. MNPD rounds each incident to about 100 meters (three decimal places), so an incident near the edge of a planning community can be counted on either side of the outline. The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department’s public incident data contains almost no rape or other sexual-offense reports (7 in all of 2025, against 5,001 aggravated assaults and 57 homicides), so they do not appear on the map or in these counts and located counts understate violent crime near any address. Reports are placed on the nearest block (coordinates are rounded to about 100 meters), and about 1 in 80 has no location and is left out. Incidents handled by the airport, campus (Belmont, Lipscomb, Fisk, Meharry) and satellite-city police departments (Belle Meade, Berry Hill, Forest Hills, Oak Hill, Goodlettsville, Ridgetop) do not appear. Open data updates on a delay, so the most recent records may be incomplete. For general information only — not legal, financial, or real-estate advice.
