A recent report from Bloomberg focused on the exodus of residents from the largest U.S. metro areas — and where those people are going.
U.S. Census figures suggest those in search of less expensive, less hectic places to call home are flocking to "second-tier" cities such as Charlotte, according to the report.
The Queen City ranks fifth among the nation's fastest-growing metros, with 2.6 percent growth from 2010 to 2013.
Raleigh is adding residents at an even faster clip, with 3.7 percent growth — the nation's second-highest rate.
Notably absent from the list are the likes of New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago. Those cities saw declines in population over the same time period.
