While Charlotte has been quietly flying under the national radar for many years, Charlotte relocation has been sizzling. According to the latest study of the American Moving and Storage Association members in 2002, Charlotte ranked No. 1 nationally. It had the heaviest inbound traffic with 62.4% of total moves coming into the area. This was validated in 2006 by United Van Lines´ annual Migration Study, which placed North Carolina in first place with 64.0% of the moves being inbound. FYI, Oregon was in second place with 62.5%.

Site Selection Magazine has judged the state of North Carolina to have the Top Business Climate of all in the country for the years 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2006. And, in 2002 Money Magazine ranked Charlotte as one of the top ten places to live.
