Population Non-Hispanic White % by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Charlotte Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Charlotte metro area exhibits a pronounced racial geographic divide, with Non-Hispanic White population shares dropping below 20% in several zip codes immediately west and south of downtown Charlotte, forming a concentrated corridor of majority-minority communities through the urban core. Outer suburban and exurban zip codes—particularly those north toward Huntersville and Kannapolis, east toward Concord, and in the rural southern and western periphery—consistently exceed 60-80% Non-Hispanic White population. Gastonia's immediate zip codes present a notable pocket of lower White percentages relative to their surrounding rural areas, suggesting a secondary urban diversity cluster west of the primary Charlotte core.
