The job is in Charlotte, NC. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
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 biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (146,340 jobs, median $47,210); transportation and material moving (142,580 jobs, median $40,550); sales and related (139,760 jobs, median $40,880). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (1.4 times) and business and financial operations (1.3 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($133,220) and computer and mathematical ($120,930). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Mecklenburg County was 3.3%. 72.4% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Mecklenburg County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 57.4% drive alone, 1.9% use public transit, 1.7% walk, 28.8% work from home. 10.6% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 24% below the state average (10.6% against 13.9%). 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). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
