Definition

For coverage purposes, metro Charlotte is Charlotte, NC together with every incorporated community within 100 miles that is closer to Charlotte than to any other metro anchor — 14 communities and about 1,103,798 people beyond the core city. Communities are assigned to their nearest anchor, so the boundaries follow travel distance rather than county lines.

Geography

The anchor sits at 35.2271°, -80.8431°. Coverage extends in 7 compass directions from it, reaching 100 miles at its furthest. The largest surrounding community is Winston-Salem, NC — 236,441 people, 69 miles northeast.

Climate

Between October and April the Charlotte area averages an overnight low of 43.3°F and reaches 15.4°F at its coldest, with 114 days below 45°F — about 3.8 months. A cat’s thermoneutral zone starts around 86°F against a typical indoor 64–72°F, so those are the months an indoor cat here is actively hunting for a heat source.
