Greensboro safety and hazards
Greensboro’s defined crime rows sit beside High flood planning
The 2024 Greensboro Police Department series reports 926 violent crimes per 100,000, displayed as Poor, and 3,419 property crimes per 100,000, displayed as Moderate. These figures cover a defined agency period. They are a starting point for research, not a promise about a particular home, block, entrance, parking area, or evening return.
Guilford County planning rows list High flood risk, Moderate heat wave, Moderate hurricane and storm risk, Low wildfire risk, Moderate drought risk, and Moderate overall natural hazard risk, with 8 major disaster declarations from 2000 through 2025. Crime and hazards should stay distinct while the address review brings them together.

Greensboro in everyday life
Could Greensboro work for you?
What may work well
- The period and agency behind the 2024 crime rows are visible, allowing a household to ask focused questions.
- FEMA rows make High flood and Moderate storm, heat, drought, and natural hazard planning explicit.
- Greensboro’s care and greenway connections give the safety review real daily routes to inspect.
What to think about
- Violent crime is displayed Poor at 926 per 100,000 and property crime Moderate at 3,419 per 100,000 for the defined 2024 agency series.
- High flood risk makes drainage, insurance, lower levels, trees, and route changes important.
- County hazard rows and citywide crime rows do not describe every address or personal experience.

Questions retirees ask
What are Greensboro’s published crime rows?
The 2024 Greensboro Police Department series reports 926 violent crimes per 100,000, displayed Poor, and 3,419 property crimes per 100,000, displayed Moderate. Treat them as defined period figures, not a prediction about an address.
Does Greensboro have flood planning concerns?
Guilford County is labeled High for flood risk. Review maps, drainage, lower levels, entry, parking, trees, insurance, and the route to care at the exact property.
What should I inspect at a Greensboro home?
Review the approach, lighting, locks, visibility, parking, drainage, lower levels, trees, insurance, emergency contacts, and routes to care, pharmacy, groceries, and home after dark.
How do storms affect everyday planning?
Moderate hurricane and storm, heat wave, drought, and overall natural hazard rows make changed routes, indoor options, emergency contacts, medication access, and household support useful planning questions.
Do the crime displays apply equally to every Greensboro area?
No. The figures summarize a defined city agency period. Visit the exact home and relevant routes at useful hours, then weigh lighting, entry, parking, property condition, hazards, and personal comfort.
Greensboro’s safety review must keep the Poor violent crime display, Moderate property crime display, High flood row, and other hazards visible without turning them into an address verdict. Inspect the home and routes, then choose Save, Compare, or Find my fit.
