With a population of just 33,657, Goldsboro, North Carolina is hardly a bustling metropolis. The city's economy centers around the nearby Seymour Johnson Air Force Base and agricultural industries like hog and turkey farming. While the nearby Neuse River provides scenic views, Goldsboro's subtropical climate can be oppressive, with sweltering summers averaging 91°F. More troubling, the city's crime rate exceeds both state and national averages, making it one of the most dangerous areas in North Carolina. Goldsboro may appeal to those seeking a slower pace of life, but its stifling bureaucracy and persistent safety issues make it a tough sell for most.
