Married Couple (% of all Households) by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Charlotte Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Married-couple households are most concentrated in the suburban and exurban ring, with zip codes near Huntersville, Concord, and the southeastern periphery reaching 70–80%+ of all households, while the urban core of Charlotte falls sharply to roughly 20–30%. Gastonia and several zip codes to its west also display below-average rates in the 30–40% range, forming a secondary cluster of lower married-couple prevalence. The contrast between the deep-purple central Charlotte zip codes and the yellow-green outer suburbs represents a spread of approximately 60 percentage points, underscoring a pronounced urban-suburban divide in household composition.
