Vanderbilt Tullahoma-Harton Hospital (formerly Harton Regional Medical Center) is a 135-bed, Joint Commission-accredited acute-care hospital with roughly 600 employees and more than 80 full-time physicians across 25-plus disciplines, including a 14-bed critical-care unit and a Level 2 nursery. 87% of patients are willing to recommend it per U.S. News (retrieved 2026-08-22).
Crime data: a real disagreement in framing, less so in underlying numbers
NeighborhoodScout describes Tullahoma's overall crime rate (21 per 1,000, a 1-in-48 chance of victimization) as 'considerably higher than the national average' and higher than 83% of Tennessee's cities and towns of all sizes; violent crime specifically runs 4 per 1,000 (1-in-253 chance). CrimeGrade separately gives Tullahoma a B overall letter grade for 2026 -- a more favorable framing -- even though CrimeGrade's own violent-crime rate (4.310 per 1,000) closely matches NeighborhoodScout's figure. This is a genuine disagreement in how the same underlying data gets framed, disclosed rather than resolved to one read.
Key takeaways
- Vanderbilt Tullahoma-Harton Hospital (135 beds, 87% patient-recommend rate per U.S. News) gives residents solid, well-documented in-city hospital access.
- NeighborhoodScout frames Tullahoma's overall crime rate as considerably higher than the national average and higher than 83% of Tennessee cities; CrimeGrade's B letter grade reads more favorably despite closely matching violent-crime numbers.
- This is a real disagreement in framing rather than underlying data -- both readings are disclosed rather than resolved to one number.
- Confirm current, address-specific crime data directly before relocating, given how differently sources frame the same underlying figures.
