Safety & Crime

Available 2024 city-level crime data for Vonore, as reported through FBI crime reporting, recorded 10 violent-crime incidents and 27 property-crime incidents. The reported property-crime offenses included three burglaries, 21 larceny/theft incidents, and three motor-vehicle thefts. These figures describe reported city-level incidents and should not be interpreted as property-specific conditions or as a safety rating for the residence.

The five-year city-level series shows that reported property-crime counts were 53 in 2020, 44 in 2021, 50 in 2022, 42 in 2023, and 27 in 2024, while violent-crime counts were 16, 2, 16, 5, and 10 respectively. Year-to-year changes can be substantial in a small population, so the figures are best considered descriptive rather than predictive.

Housing Market History

For a consistent historical measure, the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s annual All-Transactions House Price Index for Monroe County provides a useful county-level comparison. The index is not a property valuation and does not predict the future value of 123 Cooper Rd.

From 2021 through 2025, the Monroe County FHFA index increased by approximately 57%. Separately, Zillow reported a typical Vonore home value of $480,570 as of August 31, 2026, with a 2.9% year-over-year increase. Zillow’s Vonore figure and the FHFA county index use different methodologies and should not be treated as interchangeable measures.
