Overview
How Nashville neighborhoods compare
Nashville's safety map splits cleanly between its prosperous southern and western residential belt and the busier urban core. Knowing which side of that line an address falls on tells you far more than any citywide average ever could.
Lowest crime
Safest neighborhoods in Nashville
Affluent, low-density areas such as Green Hills, Forest Hills, Oak Hill, Belle Meade, and the Sylvan Park edge tend to post the strongest grades, with property crime well below the city norm and violent incidents rare.
