Reported crime across Nashville

The map plots reported incidents by location so you can spot the difference between the dense activity around Lower Broadway, Midtown, and the SoBro entertainment zone and the much calmer patterns in residential pockets like Sylvan Park, Donelson, and Bellevue. Zoom in to study a single corridor or zoom out to compare whole sectors of the city at once.

Plotted points reflect reports made to police and may be placed at an approximate block rather than an exact address.

Each marker is a single reported event, and tighter clusters point to streets or intersections that generate repeated calls. Color reflects how a spot compares with citywide norms rather than an absolute danger rating, so read the map alongside the neighborhood grades for full context.
