How Many People Are Moving to Charlotte Every Day?
Charlotte is getting busier and busier and more and more packed on a daily basis! It’s quite insane to think about how many apartment buildings, offices, and new neighborhoods we see go up every day. There is so much construction and traffic that it’s clear that the city is growing. Granted, I am one of those people who recently got here but even I can tell how much it’s growing in the short time that I have been here.
Who’s Moving to Charlotte?
In a recent study, the Charlotte Regional Business Allowance (CRBA) says the net migration surge in 2023 was one of the highest in the past 15 years. In the data, it states that nearly 117 people moved to Charlotte on a daily basis between 2022 and 2023. Yes, you read that right. Imagine, 117 people are moving to Charlotte every day! Over the years we have seen cities across the country grow, including Charlotte, but this spike in growth was one of the biggest the city has ever seen!
More and more people are moving to the region due to job opportunities, city size, culture, and affordable living. Now, for the people that are here, we may see it a little differently but compared to many Northern cities, they love Charlotte. It’s more affordable to live here and we don’t get heavy snow every year. Why wouldn’t they love it here?
In the report, you can see similar cities like Raleigh, NC, and Nashville, TN with far lower numbers ranging under 100 people each per day. Meanwhile, other cities are far greater than Charlotte like Dallas, TX with over 250 people per day. Many are moving throughout the country to start new lives, but many are finding homes in similar cities across the U.S. Many from states like New York and California are relocating all over and making roots in new cities.
Well, who knows what’s in store for Charlotte! But, if you ask locals they will probably already tell you that we’re full!
