I’m doing a report on North Carolina for my travel class. Can anyone give me an honest view of this state? What are the cultural/social patterns down there? What are people like? What’s the population breakdown? What do people do for fun? I believe most of the people are Southern, but are there people from other countries? Please answer here and email me at debby32@gis.net

Here’s the address of a web page I made for a demography project on North Carolina last year: http://www.georgetown.edu/users/stackhoh/demography/test.htm

It includes some basic information and a number of good links to demographic and other information on the state. North Carolina is a beautiful state and, needless to say, much more diverse in almost all ways than relatively homogeneous New England. The site includes some information on the nativity, race, regional culture, and ethnicity of North Carolina’s residents.

I’m sure you’re done with your report, but this may help others. North Carolina as a state has a lot of variety. I live near the S.C. border in the piedmont, which is in the center of the state. I can drive to the mountains or beach in just a few hours. There is skiing in the mountains in winter, even though where I live it snows small amounts only 2-3 times a year. Weather-wise, the N.C. piedmont is unpredictable. People-wise, the biggest diversity is around the larger cities. Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro and Wilmington seem to have the most large businesses and have lots of people who have moved in from out of the state or country. In the more rural areas more people are native to the area. In Gaston County (where I’m from, near Charlotte), for example, there are many people who’ve moved here for work. However, there are also LOTS of people whose families have been here for generations. Practically any family who has been in the area for more than 3 generations is related, also. Don’t forget that there are also Native American populations in the mountains and in the Piedmont area (Cherokee and Catawba, for example). Incidentally, we do have southern accents, but they seem less pronounced near the large cities. All in all, N.C. is a nice state–come visit us! Hope this helps!
