Mt Moriah Crime Rate, Memphis (2024)

Mt Moriah is a precinct in Memphis. Memphis's open crime data doesn't include a reliable precinct-level population figure, so this page shows reported incident VOLUME relative to other Memphis precincts for 2024 — not a population-adjusted safety rate.

45/100
Geography: MPD precinct (a policing/analysis unit, not a resident-population boundary)
Data year: 2024 · Memphis open-data portal
#4 safest of 9 precincts in Memphis

Volume, not a safety rate. Memphis Police precinct resident population is not reliably available for a per-100k rate, so no safety grade is published for any zone (see /crime-rate/methodology §6.6). The geographic unit is the Memphis Police precinct (a policing/analysis boundary, not a resident-population neighborhood). relativeIndex ranks each zone by its VIOLENCE-WEIGHTED reported-incident volume (violent incidents weighted 3x property) against the other Memphis zones — it is NOT population-adjusted and must not be read as a safety rate. Offenses are grouped into three coarse buckets (violent / property / other) via a keyword classifier.

Why isn't there a safety grade for Mt Moriah?
A safety grade needs the resident population of the area to turn incident counts into a per-100k rate. Memphis's open data reports by precinct (a policing/analysis unit), which has no clean resident-population figure — so we publish a within-city volume ranking instead of a grade. See the methodology.

No area has zero risk

A high Crime Index score means lower reported crime relative to other US cities — it is not a guarantee of safety. Reported crime is not the same as actual crime. Research on the gap between crime that occurs and crime that gets reported to police — often called the "dark figure" of crime — estimates that roughly 40% of violent crime and about a third of property crime go unreported each year. Every index built on official statistics, including this one, necessarily undercounts real crime. That gap is exactly why homicide — the offense with the smallest dark figure — anchors the calculation instead of a more commonly reported but less reliable category like theft.
