The Charlotte CSA, the Triad CSA, the Trangle CSA, run up to one another forming an arch across North Carolina along the 85 corridor and all 3 are high growth areas in the state.
Since 2010, the bookends, Charlotte CSA has grown by +15%, The Triangle CSA +17 and in between the bookends +6%.
North Carolina is growing by about 1 million people per decade. The rural counties are experience stagnant growth, some negative. Much of the growth is focused in this area I'm describing above.
Here's an article from 2013 talking about the same thing:
