## Resource

Raleigh tops North Carolina’s safety rankings at 15 nationally, while Durham falls to 34 — a stark contrast that reveals how safety varies even within the same state. Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and Greensboro all land in the bottom half, challenging political narratives that paint NC cities as dangerous. The study measures violent and property crime, traffic fatalities, and natural disaster risk — showing Raleigh’s lower crime rates (5 violent, 28 property per 1k) versus Durham’s higher ones (6 violent, 38 property). Both face elevated disaster risks, reminding us that safety isn’t one-size-fits-all — and NC as a whole sits mid-tier nationally on violent crime.
