How Charlotte compares. Among the 100 largest places in North Carolina, Charlotte is #1 by population, #9 for remote work (#1 = most), #77 for rent (#1 = cheapest), #72 for homeownership (#1 = highest). Its county, Mecklenburg County, is #2 of 100 counties for average pay ($88,111).
Charlotte has 903,844 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 8.4% of the population of North Carolina. It covers 312 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 2,901 people per square mile. The median age is 34.5, 12% younger than the state median (34.5 against 39.1).
The median gross rent is $1,612 a month (rent plus utilities), 31% above the state median ($1,612 against $1,228). Over a year that is 23.6% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $385,700, which is 4.7 times the median household income ($82,068). 51.0% of households own their home, 23% below the state average (51.0% against 66.6%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia, NC-SC metropolitan area has 1,358,370 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $49,990 a year, about the same as the national median ($49,990 against $50,980).

The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($133,220) and computer and mathematical ($120,930).

Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
48.0% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 35% above the state share (48.0% against 35.6%). 18.7% of residents were born outside the United States, 106% above the state share (18.7% against 9.1%). The poverty rate is 11.7%, 10% below the state rate (11.7% against 13.0%).
The warmest month is Jul, averaging 81°F (27.1°C), and the coolest is Jan at 40°F (4.4°C). About 1,146 mm (45 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Jul is the wettest month (112 mm) and Jan the driest (80 mm).
