Frequently Asked Questions About Crime in Collierville, TN

Is Collierville, TN safe?

Collierville ranks among the safest communities in Tennessee, earning an overall crime grade of B+ citywide. What makes that figure especially striking is what happens at the neighborhood level: all five analyzed neighborhoods — Levee Oaks, Pembrook, Fairway Glen, Collierville proper, and Shelton Hills — each received an A+ grade, the highest rating possible. That means 100% of analyzed neighborhoods fall into the top safety tier, with zero neighborhoods graded B, C, D, or F. For context, most comparable suburban towns see at least one or two neighborhoods dip into the B or C range. Collierville's across-the-board A+ performance is statistically uncommon and reflects a community where low poverty (2.9%), low unemployment (2.8%), and high median household income ($117,327) collectively suppress crime conditions.

What is the crime rate in Collierville, TN?

Rather than raw numeric scores, the most useful way to understand Collierville's crime picture is through its grade distribution. All 5 of 5 neighborhoods analyzed earned an A+ safety grade — representing 100% of the analyzed population living in Grade-A territory. The city's overall grade of B+ reflects the broader Shelby County context in which Collierville sits, but at the hyper-local neighborhood level the data is even more favorable. Economically, the city's median household income of $117,327 and a poverty rate of just 2.9% are strongly correlated with suppressed property and violent crime rates. The unemployment rate of 2.8% further reinforces conditions that researchers consistently link to lower crime incidence. In short, the data paints Collierville as a statistical outlier in a positive direction.

What are the safest neighborhoods in Collierville?

Every analyzed neighborhood in Collierville holds an A+ safety grade, so residents have the rare luxury of choosing a neighborhood based on lifestyle preferences rather than safety trade-offs. Here is how the five neighborhoods break down by grade and median household income:

• Pembrook — Grade A+ | Median Income: $165,537 | Population: 631
• Fairway Glen — Grade A+ | Median Income: $157,790 | Population: 51
• Levee Oaks — Grade A+ | Median Income: $157,789 | Population: 41
• Shelton Hills — Grade A+ | Median Income: $155,189 | Population: 82
• Collierville (core area) — Grade A+ | Median Income: $137,825 | Population: 36,798

Pembrook leads on median income at $165,537 and is the most populated of the smaller sub-neighborhoods. The Collierville core area encompasses the vast majority of the city's 50,596 residents and still maintains an A+ grade, meaning safety is not confined to a small, wealthy enclave — it extends across the entire community.

Is Collierville a good place to live?

The socioeconomic and safety data align strongly in Collierville's favor. Consider the key metrics together: a median household income of $117,327 (well above national and Tennessee state medians), a poverty rate of only 2.9%, an unemployment rate of 2.8%, and a median home value of $332,352 that signals a stable and appreciating housing market. Median rent sits at $1,354, offering relative affordability compared to similarly safe suburban markets in other parts of the country. Layer on top of that a 100% Grade-A neighborhood distribution across all five analyzed areas, and the case for Collierville as a top-tier place to live becomes data-driven rather than anecdotal. Families in particular benefit from the combination of strong schools, high incomes, and a population density of just 537 residents per square mile — suburban enough to feel spacious, connected enough to support community infrastructure.

Which Collierville neighborhoods have the highest crime relative to others?

Even framing this question is challenging given the data, because the neighborhoods flagged as having the relatively higher crime within Collierville — Pembrook and the Collierville core area — both still carry A+ safety grades. In most cities, the "highest crime" neighborhood would be a D or F; here it is an A+. The Collierville core area's larger population (36,798 residents, or roughly 73% of the city's total population of 50,596) naturally generates more absolute incident counts simply due to scale, which can make it appear higher in raw numbers while remaining excellent on a per-capita grade basis. Pembrook, with 631 residents and a median income of $165,537, similarly reflects a neighborhood where any incidents stand out against an otherwise very low baseline. Neither area should cause concern — the A+ designation means both remain among the safest places to live in the region.
