23. North Carolina – Goldsboro
Goldsboro has consistently appeared in discussions about crime within North Carolina due to its higher rates of violent and property-related incidents compared to many surrounding areas. The city itself is smaller than major metros like Charlotte or Raleigh, but it still reflects localized urban challenges tied to economic stagnation and limited job growth. Some neighborhoods experience more stability than others, but the Southside has often been associated with persistent safety concerns contributing to it’s violent crime rate of 1,076 per 100k residents. North Carolina’s rapid development in certain regions contrasts with slower growth in smaller cities like Goldsboro, making these disparities more visible at the local level.
