Housing Median Monthly Rent ($), by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Charlotte Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The highest median rents in the Charlotte metro, exceeding $2,500 monthly, concentrate in a distinct cluster northeast of Charlotte proper, likely corresponding to the Harrisburg/Mint Hill corridor, while a secondary pocket of elevated rents appears just south of the Charlotte city center. Gastonia and the western periphery display notably lower rents, with one zip code near Gastonia falling below $750, creating a sharp east-west affordability gradient across the metro. The northern suburbs around Huntersville and Concord generally fall in the moderate $1,250–$1,750 range, suggesting a more uniform middle-market rental landscape compared to the pronounced extremes closer to the urban core and far western fringe.
