Apartment demand in North Carolina and South Carolina ranks as the strongest in the nation, indexed by relativity. The Carolinas garnered apartment demand for 2.5 times more than the share of existing local stock in calendar 2023, topping every other region for the measure.
Apartment markets in the Carolinas absorbed nearly 25,000 units on net in calendar 2023. That accounted for about 10% of all U.S. absorption. But the Carolinas make up a relatively small piece of existing units across U.S. multifamily stock, with just a 4.2% share. Given the size of existing stock across the North and South Carolina, indexed absorption was especially high here in 2023.
