Charlotte
An ever-growing region
The Charlotte region is home to over 2.5 million people and is the 22nd
largest region in the United States. Since 2012 the Charlotte region has
added 205,000 people or 41,000 a year. It is expected to reach over 3
million by 2030. With a surging population and job growth averaging
50,000 new jobs per year, Charlotte is positioned as one of the most
sought-after locations to live and work. Known as the third largest
banking center in the nation, Charlotte is also home to the nation’s
largest utilities provider, Duke Energy, and is a rapidly growing technology
and back office destination. North and South Carolina’s pro-business
legislation and relatively low cost of living have proven to be major
drivers for corporate relocations and expansions in the area.
