Are there any low crime cities in nc? (Raleigh, Durham: chapel, living in)

[mbhoakct76]

I live in CT now and am looking to relocate away from the harsh winters we see here, NC is one state i have on mind (tn is another). While doing some reasearch I noticed most towns even the smaller ones are quite high in crime rates.
I am accustomed to living in a low crime area (1 in sperlings opinion) and i would like to keep it that way, Can anyone tell me if there are any low crime areas?

Out of the state's major population centers, I would say Cary would have the lowest overall crime rate.

There are many small cities with low crime. New Bern and Morehead City are 2.

It's a mistake to consider the crime rate in Cary as if Cary were in a vaccuum. Cary is just a small part of of the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill metro. Some parts are nicer than others.
