Behind the grade sit 1.6 violent crimes and 7.1 incidents of property crime per 1,000 people a year, where the comparison is 8.2 and 30.2 in the rest of Tennessee. Overall, it grades B for safety (#25 of 129 graded towns in Tennessee). Add to that, the crimes the grade counts fell 20% per resident from 2023 to 2025.
Crimes reported to the FBI per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. “Rest of TN” is every other Tennessee city and town in the FBI’s tables; the U.S. figure is the FBI’s national estimate as published, averaged over the three years. The FBI publishes no national homicide or robbery rate in our data, so those compare with all U.S. cities and towns in its tables.

15 people died in crashes on Maryville’s roads in 2019–2023
Maryville had 14 fatal crashes in five years, in which 15 people died; 1 was a pedestrian and 1 was a cyclist.
That is 9.3 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, about the same as the median for Tennessee towns of 25,000–100,000 people (9.6, 22 towns).
Deaths are counted where the crash happened, not where the people lived: a highway through town adds through-traffic deaths, and residents’ own risk on roads elsewhere isn’t here. Town rates sit below state and U.S. rates because a third of fatal crashes happen outside any town. Road safety is described here and is not part of the Safety Grade.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- It’s reported crime. Only incidents reported to and recorded by police appear here. Many crimes are never reported to police.
- One number for all of Maryville. A town-wide rate doesn’t show where incidents happen, and that can differ a lot from one part of town to another.
- Visitors count too. Incidents involving people who work, shop or visit are counted against Maryville’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (32,465 in 2025); our figure for Maryville is 32,442 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
