Charlotte tops wishlist for Americans looking to move, study says

A house sitting company has named Charlotte the destination people most want to move to in the United States. TrustedHousesitters, a house and pet sitting company, compared domestic migration statistics with relocation-related Google search data to determine the places people most want to move. Charlotte tops the list, followed by Austin and Dallas in Texas. Honolulu, Hawaii was ranked the highest for travel. The company found U.S. Google searches for “moving to Charlotte” and “living in Charlotte” average a combined 1,890 monthly. The company compared this to data on domestic migration. TrustedHousesitters used Census Bureau data to identify the metro area gained about 24,400 domestic migrants in 2024-25, which was the largest increase among the destinations analyzed. The area’s latest annual gain equates to 8.4 people per 1,000 residents, according to the study. Charlotte was also named the most underrated city in America in 2026 by Clever Real Estate, the Charlotte Observer previously reported. So, how many people are actually moving here? Despite the city’s reputation as a location people want to move to, and an underrated one at that, migration to Charlotte actually dropped 14% between July 2024 and July 2025 , the Charlotte Observer recently reported .

How Bank of America is helping secure safe housing for Charlotte residents

Two Charlotte nonprofits working to keep local residents housed have snagged major grant funding from Bank of America . Rebuilding Together of Greater Charlotte and Safe Alliance were named the bank’s 2026 Neighborhood Builders award recipients . The national program provides multiyear funding and training for local nonprofit leaders, Bank of America said Tuesday. Each organization will receive a $200,000 grant over two years, along with leadership training. “Our local nonprofits are crucial to promoting economic opportunity and addressing local challenges in Charlotte,” Kieth Cockrell , president of Bank of America Charlotte, said in a statement. The grant comes at a crucial time for nonprofits facing fewer and more restrictive federal funding available impacting operations, according to both leaders. “This type of unrestricted funding that Bank of America is providing is really a game changer for us,” said Laura Lawrence, president and CEO of Safe Alliance. “It provides us staffing support and resources that will allow us to intervene sooner before someone becomes homeless, and also support someone who has already reached homelessness to find appropriate, safe housing.” As the region faces an affordable housing shortage , preserving existing homeownership is critical. “The most affordable home is the one a

12 North Carolina Restaurants That Know How To Make Biscuits And Gravy Right

One Asheville spot serves cathead biscuits, a name that comes from biscuits roughly as big as a cat’s head. That alone made me sit up a little straighter. Then I learned the same place lets you pick a gravy the way other cafes let you pick a muffin. Another kitchen in Charlotte never closes, so sausage gravy is on the table at 3 AM if you want it.

Will Charlotte's bond money help your neighborhood? We tried to find out

The city of Charlotte has $425 million in general obligation bonds to fund housing, transportation and neighborhood infrastructure projects, thanks to voters approving the measures Nov. 3. It’s the largest bond request the city has ever made. So, what is the money being spent on? Some of the funding is earmarked and identified on the city’s website, but other allocations are described vaguely. And when asked for specific project lists or targeted neighborhoods, the city pointed towards its website and did not provide further context. And by state law , the city doesn’t have to list specific locations of projects. Councilmember Dimple Ajmera said the vagueness stems from a need for flexibility. “Some projects are identified today while others will be selected through a process based on community needs and available opportunities,” Ajmera said. But without a specified list of projects, how can Charlotteans keep track? Charlotte’s 2026 bond referendums City bonds are long-term loans, sometimes 10-year periods, where the debt and the interest are paid back through sales and property taxes, along with other local funding sources. They are the primary way municipalities pay for large-scale projects. Typically, Charlotte requests these bonds every two years and voters historically approve

THC drinks could soon be banned in NC. How will it affect Charlotte businesses?

For some, a night out no longer has to end with a cocktail, a beer or a glass of wine. A can of THC-infused seltzer offers another way to enjoy the festivities, without necessarily drinking alcohol. The beverages, which contain tetrahydrocannabinol — the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis that produces a “high” — appeal to customers who are sober-curious, abstaining from alcohol or want to try something different. But their presence in the North Carolina beverage market is facing an uncertain future as lawmakers consider tighter restrictions on hemp products. A federal law originally scheduled to take effect Nov. 12 would narrow the definition of legal hemp, eliminating most THC-infused drinks containing more than 0.4 milligrams of THC per container. Congress has since delayed those restrictions until Dec. 11. North Carolina lawmakers have also considered similar restrictions through House Bill 328 , but the bill remains stalled in the House Rules Committee. Rep. Tricia Cotham, who was a co-sponsor of the bill, lost her re-election bid earlier this month, meaning passage of the bill could be more difficult with Democrats set to take control of the House in January, The News & Observer reported .

‘Winter Wonderland' in NC with snow on the ground Friday: What to expect in Charlotte

About 2 inches of snow is already on the ground Friday morning in the North Carolina mountains as the region — including Charlotte — will see its first widespread freeze of the season this weekend. A cold front is sweeping across North Carolina, with the coldest temperatures in Charlotte expected to be Sunday night. Will this frigid blast mean we could see an unusually white winter in North Carolina? Maybe not. Forecasters have said they expect this winter to trend warmer and wetter than normal, driven by a potentially record-strong El Niño pattern. Here’s what to know: Temperatures in Charlotte are expected to drop to 31 degrees Sunday night in the season’s first widespread freeze , feeling more like 29 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. Statewide lows this weekend will range from 22 degrees in Cherokee to 33 degrees in Jacksonville, and up to 4 inches of snow could fall along the Tennessee state line. The North Carolina Climate Office is forecasting above-normal temperatures and fewer wintry events this winter , with western North Carolina having the best shot at big snow events. The Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts normal snowfall for most of the state, with snow specifically

Charlotte's airport development plan is too car-centric, planners say

Charlotte's planning staff has asked Crosland Southeast to design a less car-centric version of the "Destination District," the airport's nearly 40-acre development near the future Silver Line stop that could include multiple drive-thrus. Why it matters: Again, Charlotte is facing crossroads decisions that guide whether the city becomes more urban — or continues operating as a place where you're expected to own a car. Charlotte City Council is hosting a public hearing on the city-owned airport's rezoning request Monday, Nov. 16, where the developer may address some of these concerns. However, airport officials have been clear that they only intend to make the district so walkable due to traffic and FAA rules. The latest: The Destination District, envisioned as an "employment hub," is currently planned to include a mix of stores, restaurants, offices, hotels, a parking garage, a gas station and green space. They're aiming to complete it by 2032. As it stands, the rezoning petition seeks permission to build up to six drive-thrus, with possible exceptions for more at the site, located between Wilkinson Boulevard and I-85. City staff argues this would not create the ideal pedestrian environment to support the multibillion-dollar Silver Line light rail coming through there,

A mosquito-borne fever is back in the southeast. Is NC at risk?

Floridians are coming down with a tropical mosquito-borne fever at a record rate since the illness’ return to the state in 2009. Almost 4 billion people live in areas where they are at risk of dengue fever — but Americans are generally considered to be at largest risk of travel-associated cases. In 2026, however, Florida has seen an increase in locally contracted cases of dengue fever. At the time of reporting, the Center for Disease Control had documented 598 of just over 1,000 dengue fever cases in Florida in 2026 to be locally transmitted, rather than acquired while traveling. Dengue fever was once considered endemic , or consistently present, in the continental United States, including Florida. In 2009, Florida faced the first dengue outbreak in the state in over 50 years. Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne illness caused by any of four related viruses. It rarely occurs in the continental United States, but is a leading cause of death globally. As the name suggests, it causes high fevers, as well as severe headaches and pain behind the eyes, rash, body pain and even mild bleeding. There is no vaccine available in the United States.
