Curious why you picked NC. The capital city of uber-liberal Connecticut, one of the wealthiest states in the nation, and a city run by liberals for 75 years, is above 30%. So very curious why you picked NC...

Nc avg poverty rate is 14.7 they rank 37th
CT avg poverty rate is 9.6 they rank 5th
All data from talkpoverty.org
Seems NC and CT have issues... local political parties have little influence on national boom or doom trends .

CT is richer than NC (mostly because of our good fortune of having beautiful coastline near Manhattan, which NC does not have). Yet CT is losing popultion, and NC is growing. Do you know why that is? I do. It's because unlike CT, NC has some towns that are very cheap and that yet offer a very high quality of life. CT has precisely zero towns that are cheap with a high quality of life.
NC is booming, CT is circling the drain, drowning in debt. True or false? Connecticut's wealth cannot save it from 40 years of pure, unchecked liberalism.

you struggle with relative facts.. 2017 to 2018 Connecticut's population has decreased from 3,573,880 to 3,572,665 or a total reduction of 1,215 people OMG NC has 6 million more people then CT i am guessing this hasn't happened over night NC also has a popular coast go to hilton head and see all the 900k houses

and to pin the blame on Liberalism alone shows your lack of insight and inability to see the bigger picture .
The most popular previous residences for people moving to N.C. in 2017 were:
Florida (32K)
Virginia (29K)
South Carolina (27K)
New York (27K)
California (20K)
The fastest shrinking states
West Virginia.
Illinois. ...
Vermont. 1-yr pop. ...
Connecticut. 1-yr pop. ...
Wyoming. 1-yr pop. ...
Pennsylvania. 1-yr pop. ...
Mississippi. 1-yr pop. ...
New York. 1-yr pop. ...
Fastest growing states Utah Nevada Idaho Florida Washington Oregon Colorado Arizona and all for different reasons running from liberalism or conservatism.. Not high on most peoples reasons to move

Cost of living is very high in reasons for moving. Cost of
living tends to be higher
in liberal states.
i’ve lives in CT my whole
life. The unfunded debt is 120 billion, which is 40,000 for every one of the 3 million people living there. So on top of current taxes which are insanely high, funding the debt requires another 160,000 for every family of 4.
having high taxes is bad. having impossible debt is bad. having both at the same time, requires next generation stupidity. And CT is as blue as it gets. Even you can connect those dots.
