Charlotte Cost of Living

November 14, 2013 by Jason

Charlotte Cost of Living

Charlotte view from Southend

How does the Queen City compare to the rest?

Big cities surely are expensive. I have lived in most of them. I can always remember coming to Charlotte, and getting a chicken sandwich at Tender’s in Cornelius, for $4 and I was SOLD. According to Forbes Magazine, Charlotte ranks #19 in places to live for Business and Careers. With a population of 1,836,000 Charlotte is no longer the sleepy southern town it once was. Compared to a little sister of Atlanta, Charlotte since 2007 has stepped it up with restaurants, shopping, and better transportation.

  1. Charlotte is powered by the financial industry, motorsports and Duke Energy.

    *Median Household income is $55,572
    *Unemployment 8.9%
    *Job growth 3.15
    *Cost of living 1.3% above the national average

    Charlotte has become the second largest banking center second to NEW YORK CITY. Charlotte has the professional sports teams: Carolina Panthers, Charlotte Bobcats, and the minor league Charlotte Knights. The new National White Water Center is a popular attraction, and don’t forget NASCAR. There are a handful of well known universities in Charlotte, Queens College, Johnson and Wales, and UNC Charlotte.

    Charlotte Cost of Living: Eating

    Compared to NYC, it is much more manageable. However, the culinary skills have improved outside your fried chicken stop. The median price for a meal is $8.
    Most upscale restaurants will be around $20, per person, without alcohol.
