The 10 Most Dangerous Cities in North Carolina Explained
let's say you're walking down a typical
street in any town North Carolina when
suddenly out of nowhere hail this guy
wants your phone what do you do you run
of course or leave the phone behind had
you known where the most dangerous
places in North Carolina were you might
have picked a different place to visit
our goal today is to highlight the most
dangerous cities in North Carolina we
looked at the last three years of FBI
reporting data for cities over 10,000
residents and we broke the numbers down
into your statistical chances of being
the victim of a violent or a property
crime for example surprisingly according
to the stats Durham is only ninth for
violence and didn't make the top ten
sure there were more than 1,800 violent
crimes here last year but the population
so large that statistically both city
doesn't rank as high as these other
smaller cities
so grab your shotgun and your pepper
spray as we get started our first stop
along our most dangerous journey through
the Tar Heel State starts and
surprisingly Burlington this Alamance
County City has the nickname boring ttan
but on the fringes it's pretty rough
Burlington has the state's 22nd highest
property crime rate but on average more
than one violent crime a day happens
here which is one reason it's in the top
ten the Eastside near Graham is the
worst part on a positive note at least a
crime in Burlington is going down so
that's fabulous next up on our danger
zone tour of the Tar Heel State brings
us to Salisbury the heart of Rowan
County now if you talk to Salisbury
residents lots of them will claim they
should be atop this list if you go into
downtown Salisbury at night you better
be packing heat unless you want heroin
meth or crack then you'd fit right in
car vandalisms break-ins and theft's
from garages and storage areas happen
all the time here or you could just get
robbed at the ATM on Main Street or
while pumping gas at will co-hosts
Smithfield North Carolina certainly has
room to improve despite the fact that
crime here has been steadily falling for
the last five years this Johnson County
city is saw the eighth most dangerous
place in the state lots of the problems
here lie with drinking and drugs if you
spend a year in Smithfield you have a
one in eighteen chance of being the
victim of a property crime
/ perspective in Pinehurst North
Carolina you'd have a 1 in 120 chance of
being robbed every year a real big
difference
another city on the eastern side of the
state Rocky Mount sure could use some
love if you spent a year in Rocky
Mountain you'd have about a 1 and 95
chance to being the victim of a violent
crime in fact a few years ago there were
about two violent crimes a day reported
in Rocky Mount on the bright side due to
the high number of people in prison in
this part of the state you can bet the
lines at the highway diner probably a
lot shorter these days Jack and Jill
went to Goldsboro to get some barbecue
Jack got shot and Jill got mugs thank
God it wasn't you
Goldsboro is also seen as crime going up
and down but as it stands this city of
37,000 people sees just under one
violent crime each day both Bros the
former home of Andy Griffith and sounds
like they could use Matlock right now to
help solve some of goals browse recent
crimes since there have been five
unsolved murders in Goldsboro and eight
total murders this year last year goals
row saw nine murders so they're on pace
for a long year this video is brought to
you by Phil's guns on route 15 and
Greensboro look crime is hotter than
ever and everyone needs to be protected
whether you've never owned a gun before
you already own several weapons or even
if dad just left in you're the man of
the house now we'll help you find the
gun that's right for you
protect yourself from intruders protect
yourself from them going to take a
highway to the danger zone
welcome to Stateville the fifth most
dangerous city in North Carolina here
you have about a one and 139 chance
being the victim of a violent crime
meaning rape attacked or murdered yikes
and property crimes in Statesville are
through the roof to that brand-new Mazda
Miata in your front yard better lock it
up your New Kids on the Block posters
gone sounds like the punks will pretty
much steal anything that isn't locked
down in Statesville for perspective in
davidson north carolina you have about a
1 and 130 chance of being the victim of
a crime aah
Davidson way back in 2003 Laurinburg was
named as an all-american city but things
are now a little bit dodgy here this
Scotland county city is the fourth most
violent place in the state there were
more than 200 violent crimes here and
this place isn't very big down in Lenoir
County city
Kinston which is third in the state for
both violent crimes in property crimes
per person like several other cities on
this list Kinston was once voted as one
of the better places to live in the
state but now if you read Facebook these
days you see people complaining about
drugs prostitution and gunfire in the
middle of the day ladies it's too bad
that in Kinston these aren't the guys
who follow you out to the car no it's
these type of guys if you want to see a
real mess head up to Henderson and Vance
County near the Virginia state line
Henderson's also the 20th most dangerous
place in the entire nation statistically
there were more than 200 violent crimes
in the last two years and the numbers
are climbing steadily if you spent a
year in Henderson you'd have about a one
in ten chance of being robbed every year
look at the crime stats for Henderson
zero means zero other places are more
dangerous and it looks to be about five
times more dangerous than the average
North Carolina city but hey they have
one of the last remaining drive-in movie
theaters in Henderson and they can't
steal cars at a drive-in or can they
where is the most dangerous place in
North Carolina that would be Lumberton
by a landslide this is both the most
violent and the place where you have the
highest chance of being robbed in the
entire state this is where Michael
Jordan's dad was killed remember
according to the FBI Lumberton stew for
'the most dangerous place in the entire
nation just look at the Robo Sounion
crime report they published this thing
twice a day and there's still plenty of
stuff to talk about basically if you
live in Lumberton you or somebody you
know well was victimized by a crime this
year
if you live in Lumberton or any of the
other cities we mentioned you live in a
really dangerous place and if you don't
live in any of these cities you can rest
a lot easier at night congratulations
Oh
Oh
