Charlotte is on top once again!
A recent study by Evernest ranked the top US cities to move to before they become too crowded.
The study analyzed major US cities, using population data and factors such as salary levels, quality of life, and population density to identify the best cities. Cities were ranked based on these key metrics to help identify places where individuals can secure a high standard of living before rapid growth leads to overcrowding.
| Metric | Value |
| Monthly Average Net Salary | $4,531.42 |
| Quality of Life Index | 187.2 |
| Overall “Life Quality” Score | 47.1 |
| Population Density | 2,963 |
| Composite Score | 45.13 |
A spokesperson from Evernest commented on the study, “Charlotte’s emergence as a top-tier destination reflects its strategic balance of urban amenities and livable spaces. The city’s relatively low population density, combined with competitive salaries and high quality of life metrics, positions it perfectly for sustainable growth. This combination creates an ideal environment for professionals and families looking to establish themselves in a market before it experiences significant population pressure.”
“The data reveals Charlotte’s unique position in the current landscape of growing American cities. With its balanced approach to development, maintaining spacious living conditions while offering strong economic opportunities, the city presents an attractive proposition for those seeking to avoid overcrowded urban centers. The quality of life index particularly stands out, suggesting that residents can enjoy metropolitan amenities without the congestion typically associated with major city centers.”
