Position in the state cohort
Davie County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable North Carolina counties
At 325.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Davie County ranks 5 of 77 — above 72 of the 76 other North Carolina counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +167.8% against the cohort median of 121.5. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 21.2% of the 656 Part I offenses reported in Davie County for 2024, against a median of 17.9% across comparable North Carolina counties — a gap of 3.2 points. Offense mix is shaped by which agencies report and how incidents are classified as well as by the underlying offenses, so it describes the reported record rather than a settled difference in conditions.
Mid-size county rows still aggregate voluntary UCR submissions. Per-100,000 rates need a matched 2020 Census population; unmatched stay count-only. County-wide totals rarely describe any single town inside the line.
