Tracy City, Tennessee, a small town with a population of 3,539 as of 2022, has experienced fluctuating violent crime rates over the past decade. From 2010 to 2022, the total number of violent crimes decreased by 62.5%, from 16 to 6 incidents. During this same period, the population decreased by 7.3%, from 3,816 to 3,539 residents.
Murder rates in the city have remained consistently low, with no reported cases throughout the analyzed period from 2010 to 2022. This stability in the murder rate, despite population changes, indicates a consistently safe environment in terms of homicides. The city's contribution to the state's murder statistics has been negligible, maintaining 0% of the state's total throughout the years.
Rape incidents in the city have been rare, with only one reported case in both 2019 and 2020, and again in 2022. This translates to a rate of approximately 0.28 per 1,000 people in 2022, up from zero in previous years. The city's contribution to the state's rape statistics increased from 0% in earlier years to 0.06% in 2019 and 0.07% in 2020, settling at 0.06% in 2022. While any increase in rape cases is concerning, the numbers remain relatively low for a city of this size.
Robbery trends show a decline over time. In 2010, there were 3 robberies reported, which decreased to 1 in 2022. This represents a decrease from 0.79 to 0.28 robberies per 1,000 people. The city's contribution to the state's robbery statistics has fluctuated, peaking at 0.04% in 2010 and 2015, and dropping to 0.03% in 2022. This downward trend in robberies suggests improving safety conditions in the city.
Aggravated assault cases have shown the most significant fluctuations among violent crimes. From a high of 18 cases in 2013 (4.72 per 1,000 people), the number decreased to 4 cases in 2022 (1.13 per 1,000 people). The city's contribution to the state's aggravated assault statistics has also varied, peaking at 0.08% in 2013 and dropping to 0.02% in 2022. This overall downward trend in aggravated assaults is a positive sign for public safety.
There appears to be a correlation between the city's racial composition and violent crime rates. As the white population percentage increased from 79% in 2013 to 93% in 2022, the overall violent crime rate decreased. Concurrently, the percentage of residents identifying as two or more races decreased from 19% to 3%, which coincided with the decline in violent crimes.
Applying predictive models to forecast violent crime trends for the next five years (up to 2029), we anticipate a continued gradual decrease in overall violent crime rates. Based on the current trends, we might expect to see murder rates remaining at or near zero, rape incidents potentially fluctuating between 0-1 cases per year, robbery cases likely to remain low, possibly averaging 0-1 incidents annually, and aggravated assaults potentially decreasing further, perhaps to an average of 2-3 cases per year.
In summary, Tracy City has shown a generally positive trend in reducing violent crime over the past decade. The most significant improvements have been in aggravated assaults and robberies. While rape incidents have seen a slight increase in recent years, the overall numbers remain low. The city's changing demographic composition appears to correlate with these crime trends, suggesting that community dynamics may play a role in public safety outcomes. As the city moves forward, maintaining and building upon these positive trends will be crucial for ensuring the continued safety and well-being of its residents.
