I am a Statistical Analyst and have been ranking American metro areas and small towns since 1985. As metro areas, Charlotte NC/SC offers more overall than Raleigh/Durham NC. Even on the city level, Charlotte wins. Both metro areas are green/clean, have strong economies, nice 4 season climates, and friendly residents. But metro Charlotte’s Buying Power (income vs. overall cost of living) is much better, there more way more unique recreational assets (things most metros do not have) in metro Charlotte than metro Raleigh/Durham, much better transportation assets (airport/light rail/trollies/street cars). Though RDU has its merits, Charlotte wins hands down.

Truth be told there are just so many great places to live in North Carolina from Raleigh to Charlotte to the coast. I was leaning towards Raleigh but I think there are more affordable options outside of Charlotte. Btw… love your videos. I am learning so much about North Carolina. 👍

Native of Raleigh, my older sister lived in Charlotte the last 40 years. Raleigh wins hands down...tons of great neighborhoods, 120 mile Greenway system, big foodie city, less traffic, community spirit/ philanthropy, tons of doctors and excellent hospitals, wonderful suburbs, big time college academics\athletics, tons of city, county, and state parks, two large lakes-- Jordan Lake and Falls Lake, tons of smaller lakes where you can rent kayaks, sailboats, rowboats, excellent public schools plus lots of excellent private schools, very low crime, big local music scene, half a dozen outdoor concert venues, local farmers markets all over town plus in all the suburbs, community college with 70, 000 students, multiple fine arts venues along with multiple art museums, childrens museums, nc state history museum, Rawlston Arboretum, State Fairgrounds, state Capitol, 2 hrs to closest beach (Wrightsville beach, 3 hours drive to closest mountains (Boone), lots of charm, plus tons of modern architecture and friendly people! Raleigh is much easier to navigate than Charlotte with less traffic too.😊

I grew up in CLT, went to school in CLT, have family and friends in CLT, visit often and don't get lost, but am in RDU now. Every time I'm back home, I'm so thankful I ended up in the Triangle rather than the Great State...

If you're moving to Charlotte, either be wealthy or do it 5 years ago.

[BryantBaudelaire]

I live in Raleigh and worked in Charlotte . I’m team Charlotte here because Charlotte is less segregated and more inclusive than Raleigh. Too many egos in Raleigh and people seem very delusional. I’m from Nashville Tennessee born and raised and Charlotte is more comparable to Nashville for me. Raleigh to me and lots of others, Raleigh lack’s culture and feels very vanilla. The food scene in Charlotte is far superior than Raleigh. The people in Charlotte are more pleasant and welcoming than Raleigh. Raleigh can be extremely boring. That’s my honest opinion of both cities oh and Charlotte has a way bigger and better airport and better infrastructure.

Very informative video, u covered stuff other videos dont, for ex hurricanes...

[passionzhere]

Thanks for clearing up my confusion, I'm moving from socal

[archiebarrier]

This is like a Austin vs Dallas comparison. College town vs corporate town.

Hi Kaila nice video presentation, I'm from Melbourne Australia but I have a big interest in the USA.I watch a lot of videos about the different cities and landmarks. I have been to the US twice in 2015 and 2017.and the first time was a roadtrip around the eastern states.Part of that trip we drove through South Carolina and North Carolina but we didnt see any cities.We drove through this weird place called South of the border which had all things Mexican/souvenirs.

[Caniac]

I’ve lived in both. Simply put, Charlotte is good for singles. Raleigh better for just about everything else. You can’t go wrong with NC though.

[bluzzjazz]

Lived in Charlotte for almost 9 years and Raleigh now for 14. I would never leave Raleigh to go back to Charlotte. Charlotte is like Asheville, nice place to visit but don’t want to live there.

[ianj]

I'm from Tallahassee Florida and it's a city town and a college town. So I know exactly what you are talking about.

[NostalgiaNeverland-sxev]

Queens University in Charlotte is a lovely private school with an ivy league flavor in coveted the Myers Park neighborhood.

[aladdinandaloussi]

The Triangle has $15+B investment already pledged. Toyota, Fuji Pharma, Wolf Speed, Apple, VinFast (although they are having teething issues, but the Toyota partnership is promising) are just a few.
