Welcome to
The Center For Carolina Living page dedicated to informing
the press and marketing research
teams on how the Tourism and
In-migration Industries are
economically linked.
The
$40.6 billion Carolina Tourism Industry is the “birth-mother” of the
$38.6 billion In-migration Industry.
These two Carolina wealth
generators are now recognized as
leading edge sectors in our
economy and are warranted to grow for the next 25 years.
About half the work The Center For Carolina Living relates to combining primary research results from our visitor survey systems with University studies,
the U.S. Census and national forecasting organizations to track
growth trends.
Our
26-question Carolina Lifestyle Survey™ collects demographic and psychographic motivational data
from 4,000 families annually.
Using sophisticated SQL and Access tools, the data reports carry samples that deliver up to 93% confidence levels for business and policy decision making.
National Change of Address audits
track and document relocation
counts.
We welcome collaborative research opportunities and look forward to serving your goals.
