Nashville and Davidson County have a consolidated government so the Nashville police report numbers for the whole county.
Also,
Lots and lots of assault if you dig in the numbers.
It makes sense, dumbasses get drunk on Broadway, get in a fight, get arrested for assault, repeat for X number of locals and tourists.

Stay out of the bad areas???
No, the entire city is not a “bad area”
Lived in BR for 30 years - no issues whatsoever for me or my family.

Lexington is just as bad as BR at night

The worst crime rates are also the largest cities (besides Austin)

Baton Rouge is not safe for a city of just 250,000.
The metro area is near 900,000, and the violent crime skyrockets as many suburban areas around the city are every bit as violent at Baton Rouge.
