Dandridge, located in Tennessee, presents an interesting case study in violent crime trends over the past decade. From 2010 to 2022, the total number of violent crimes fluctuated, with a notable decrease from 14 incidents in 2010 to 17 in 2022, representing a 21.43% increase. During this same period, the population grew from 10,591 in 2010 to 13,456 in 2022, a significant increase of 27.05%.
Examining murder trends, Dandridge has maintained a consistent record of zero murders reported from 2010 to 2022. This stability is remarkable given the population growth, resulting in a consistent murder rate of 0 per 1,000 people throughout the period. The city's contribution to the state's murder statistics has remained at 0% over the years, indicating a positive aspect of public safety in the community.
Rape incidents in the city have shown some fluctuation over the years. In 2010, there was 1 reported case, which increased to 3 cases in 2014 and 2016, before decreasing to 1 case again in 2022. The rape rate per 1,000 people has remained relatively low, peaking at 0.26 per 1,000 in 2014 and 2016, and dropping to 0.07 per 1,000 in 2022. The city's contribution to state rape statistics has varied, reaching a high of 0.19% in 2016 and dropping to 0.06% in 2022, suggesting a generally improving trend in recent years.
Robbery trends in the city have been relatively low and stable. The number of robberies peaked at 4 in 2012, decreased to 0 in 2016 and 2019-2020, and stood at 1 in 2022. The robbery rate per 1,000 people has consequently decreased from 0.38 per 1,000 in 2012 to 0.07 per 1,000 in 2022. The city's contribution to state robbery statistics has remained low, peaking at 0.06% in 2012 and stabilizing at 0.03% in 2022.
Aggravated assault has been the most prevalent form of violent crime in Dandridge. The number of incidents fluctuated from 10 in 2010 to a peak of 15 in 2014, before settling at 15 again in 2022. The rate per 1,000 people has slightly decreased from 0.94 in 2010 to 1.12 in 2022, despite the increase in raw numbers, due to population growth. The city's contribution to state aggravated assault statistics has varied, peaking at 0.08% in 2015 and standing at 0.06% in 2022.
Examining correlations, there appears to be a moderate relationship between population density and violent crime rates. As the population density increased from 1,759 per square mile in 2010 to 2,235 per square mile in 2022, there was a corresponding, though not directly proportional, increase in total violent crimes. The racial composition of the city has remained relatively stable, with the white population consistently around 94% from 2013 to 2022, showing no strong correlation with crime trends.
Applying predictive models based on the observed trends, it is forecast that by 2029, Dandridge may see a slight increase in overall violent crimes, potentially reaching around 20-22 incidents annually. This prediction assumes a continuation of current population growth trends and stable socioeconomic factors.
In summary, Dandridge has experienced a complex evolution in its violent crime landscape against the backdrop of significant population growth. While the overall number of violent crimes has increased slightly, the per capita rates for most categories have remained relatively stable or decreased. The city's contributions to state crime statistics have generally remained low, particularly for serious offenses like murder and robbery. These trends suggest that despite growth pressures, Dandridge has managed to maintain a relatively safe environment for its residents, with room for continued improvement in public safety measures.
