Best In North Carolina Real Estate™: The Triangle

The Triangle led North Carolina in net household migration from 2022 to 2023, gaining 5,378 households—more than any other county in the state. This isn’t just a headline; it’s a demographic shift. The source: ALEX Intelligence’s latest analysis of IRS migration data, published November 11, 2026. https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-11-11-triangle-mig-net-total It means the market isn’t just growing—it’s reconstituting. Families are moving in, not just renting. Schools, parks, and transit systems are under long-term pressure. The real story isn’t in the price per square foot—it’s in the household count. This data comes from IRS Statistics of Income, which only publishes flows above its disclosure threshold. So this number is a floor, not a ceiling. That means the actual number is even higher.
