In general:
Do hobby joggers have more knee injuries?
And
Serious runners have more foot injuries?
From experience, this is what I've noticed. Is this verifiable?

I've only had knee and ankle injuries, personally. The other runners on my team experience foot, quad, hip flexor, glute, etc. injuries. I suppose that the feet injuries always tend to be the most devastating to a season though.
We had a thread on injuries a year or so ago that was very interesting. I asked how long you had run without an injury interfering with training. Lots of posters said that they had never had a major injury.
As you get older, as in really old, injuries become your constant companion.
To answer the OP's question, I'd guess that recreational runners have more knee injuries.
