North Carolina has undergone a 10% population increase since 2000. This growth means a strong economy with great educational and job opportunities. The population is estimated to be nearly nine million residents, mainly concentrated in the cities of Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and Chapel Hill.
Though North Carolina was once a largely rural state, the last 30 years have brought rapid urbanization. The state is well-known for the nation's largest military base, Fort Bragg; now, diverse and affluent residents are also building in Charlotte and Raleigh. Though North Carolina has been hit by job losses in the industries of textile and furniture production, the information technology and biotechnology industries have been on the rise.
