Here we were thinking of Tennessee as the peaceful home of country music, when in reality it's the fifth most violent state in the USA. Who would have thought? Definitely not us! Like many of the more violent states in the country, there is a correlation with low median household income (9th lowest in the country), but that's not the only thing to take note of in Tennessee. Aggravated assault takes place here at a higher rate than most other states. For every 100,000 residents, about 452 instances of aggravated assault take place.
