What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Hoke County, NC
Position in the state cohort
Hoke County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable North Carolina counties
At 560.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Hoke County ranks 2 of 77 — above 75 of the 76 other North Carolina counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator.

Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 25.5% of the 1,145 Part I offenses reported in Hoke County for 2024, against a median of 17.9% across comparable North Carolina counties — a gap of 7.6 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 68.1% of reported property offenses in Hoke County, against a cohort median of 58.4%. The remainder is burglary (195) and motor vehicle theft (77). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
On a large county row, county figures aggregate every participating agency inside the county. Participation is voluntary. Per-100,000 rates use a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census county population, never a Table 10 field; unmatched counties stay count-only. A large county line encloses very different communities.
