White House, Tennessee, a city that has experienced significant population growth, presents an intriguing case study in violent crime trends over the past decade. From 2010 to 2022, the total number of violent crimes in White House fluctuated, starting at 18 in 2010, peaking at 41 in 2016, and settling at 23 in 2022. This represents a 27.8% increase over the 12-year period. During this same timeframe, the city's population grew substantially from 10,997 in 2010 to 14,145 in 2022, a 28.6% increase.
Murder trends in White House have remained exceptionally low. There was only one reported murder in 2011, with zero murders in all other years from 2010 to 2022. This translates to a murder rate of 0.09 per 1,000 people in 2011, dropping to 0 in subsequent years. The city's contribution to the state's murder statistics has been negligible, with 0.35% in 2011 and 0% in all other years. This consistent absence of murders speaks to the relative safety of the community in terms of the most severe violent crimes.
Rape incidents have shown some variability over the years. The number of reported rapes increased from 1 in 2010 to a peak of 7 in 2018, before decreasing to 5 in 2022. The rape rate per 1,000 people rose from 0.09 in 2010 to 0.58 in 2018, then decreased to 0.35 in 2022. The city's percentage of state rape crimes fluctuated, reaching a high of 0.45% in 2018 and settling at 0.31% in 2022. This trend suggests that while rape incidents have increased over time, they remain a small fraction of the state's total.
Robbery rates in the city have remained relatively low. The number of robberies ranged from 0 to 5 over the years, with 0 reported in 2022. The robbery rate per 1,000 people peaked at 0.42 in 2016 and dropped to 0 by 2022. The city's contribution to state robbery statistics has been minimal, never exceeding 0.09% and reaching 0% in 2021 and 2022. This downward trend in robberies is a positive indicator for public safety in the community.
Aggravated assault has been the most prevalent form of violent crime in White House. The number of aggravated assaults increased from 14 in 2010 to a peak of 32 in 2016, before decreasing to 18 in 2022. The rate per 1,000 people rose from 1.27 in 2010 to 2.66 in 2016, then fell to 1.27 in 2022. The city's share of state aggravated assaults peaked at 0.17% in 2016 and decreased to 0.08% by 2022. While aggravated assaults have fluctuated, they have shown a general downward trend in recent years.
Examining correlations, there appears to be a moderate relationship between population growth and the overall number of violent crimes. As the population increased by 28.6% from 2010 to 2022, violent crimes increased by 27.8%. However, the per capita crime rate has remained relatively stable, suggesting that the increase in crimes is proportional to population growth rather than indicating a worsening crime situation.
Applying predictive models based on the current trends, we can forecast that by 2029, White House may see a slight decrease in violent crimes. The total number of violent crimes could potentially drop to around 20-22 annually, with aggravated assaults likely remaining the most common form of violent crime. Rape incidents may stabilize at 4-5 per year, while robberies and murders are expected to remain very low or at zero.
In summary, White House has experienced significant population growth while maintaining relatively stable violent crime rates. The most notable trends include the consistent absence of murders, a slight increase in rape incidents, a decrease in robberies, and fluctuating but recently decreasing aggravated assault rates. These trends, coupled with the city's small contribution to state crime statistics, suggest that White House has managed to maintain a relatively safe environment despite its growth, with violent crime rates that are generally lower than state averages.
