Most crime never reaches the police, so these are reported crimes, a floor rather than the full count. In 2024 about half of violent crimes (48%) and about 3 in 10 property crimes (31%) were reported to police (U.S. Justice Department, National Crime Victimization Survey). Rates also depend on how completely each agency reports to the FBI. City figures are the Concord Police Department's own reports.

What environmental sites and hazards are in Concord?
EPA lists 1 active Superfund site (final or proposed) in Concord: Bypass 601 Ground Water Contamination. A listing means EPA is managing a long-term cleanup; it does not by itself mean anyone is exposed today.

Tallest on the list: Cabarrus Country Club Lake Dam B (23 ft) and Christy Nursery Dam (23 ft). “High hazard” describes what lies downstream (people would probably die if the dam failed), not how likely the dam is to fail.

None of the seven hazards on our map (floods, wildfire, tornadoes, heat, earthquakes, hurricanes) is rated above “Relatively Moderate” here. The index compares counties with each other and also weighs how vulnerable and resilient a community is, so it is a long-run estimate, not a forecast.
