Position in the state cohort
Robeson County reported the highest violent-crime rate among comparable North Carolina counties
At 772.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Robeson County ranks 1 of 77 — above 76 of the 76 other North Carolina counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +535.6% 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 32.3% of the 2,785 Part I offenses reported in Robeson County for 2024, against a median of 17.9% across comparable North Carolina counties — a gap of 14.4 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 888.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 772.3 in 2024 (-13.0%). The highest observed value was 994.6 in 2023 and the lowest 772.3 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
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.
