U.S. Citizens (% of Population Over 18) by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Charlotte Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Zip codes in and immediately south of Charlotte's urban core exhibit the lowest U.S. citizenship rates among adults, dropping to approximately 75–80%, likely reflecting concentrated immigrant communities in those areas. The outer suburban and rural zip codes—particularly to the north near Kannapolis, to the east beyond Concord, and throughout the western portions near Gastonia—generally maintain citizenship rates above 90–95%. A notable contrast exists between the northwest corridor (Huntersville area), which shows moderate citizenship rates in the low 90s, and the deep purple zip codes just south of downtown Charlotte, creating a sharp gradient over a relatively short distance.
