Interesting, RockHill485 goes on and one about Charlotte's uptown. Sad and kinda funny one has to zero 14 block radius of a city to try and prove how urban, city like, and densely populated your city is. The entire city of Raleigh is more densely populated than Charlotte, Raleigh doesn't have to zero in on just one area to prove that
This statement proves you have never attended Duke or UNC. Fail.
That's different than the most illogical post in the world.
The Density of Cary is 2,782 per sq. Mile
The Density of Durham is 2,595 per Sq. Mile
I guess Cary is more of a real city than Durham because it's more dense...
And I wasn't trying to disprove you went to UNC or Duke. I was simply asking if you ever attended either. If you decline to answer, then I guess I really wont know.

We're talking cities not suburbs, nice try. (Even Raleigh's suburbs are more densely populated than Charlotte lol !)
Jacksonville city population density 1,100.1/sq mi
Charlotte population density 2,663.2/sq mi
______________________________________
Atlanta population density 3,382/sq mi
Raleigh city population density 3,023.4/sq mi
Raleigh's population density is that of a real city, Charlotte's population density, not so much.
There honestly isn't any different feel to a city that has a population density of 3000/sq mi versus one with 2600/sq mi. Both are relatively low-density. The difference would be found in particular neighborhoods with higher density, and I'm not sure what those would be in either Raleigh or Charlotte though I'm sure each city has some. For instance Atlanta is lower-density, but Midtown is 11,000/sq mi.

That, and if you take the data for what it is. Putting things into perspective. I'm not sure if Raleigh540 just doesn't understand or... he's trolling.
I don't go around saying Charlotte is double the size of Raleigh because the population is double. I take into account city limit size, etc.
The county density of the cities
Atlanta - Fulton: 1748 per Sq. Mile
Charlotte - Meck: 1932 per sq, mile
Raleigh - Wake: 1196
Jacksonville - Duval: 1134
The Size of the Counties:
Fulton: 534 Miles
Meck: 546 Miles
Wake: 857 Miles
Duval: 918 Miles
You can see, Mecklenburg and Fulton are more similar in both size and density and Wake and Duval are close in size and density
The Charlotte Region falls apart pretty much outside of Mecklenburg where as Atlanta has a huge strong core. The Triangle is an even spread of low density. Which as Joe said, there isn't much difference in the two regions at all other than certain neighborhoods.

What are Charlotte's higher-density neighborhoods? I used to be more familiar with Charlotte but haven't visited in the recent past. Is it 4th Ward or 3rd Ward? Southend maybe?
DeKalb County is actually more dense than Fulton at 268 square miles and 2,586/sq mi. Even Cobb and Gwinnett are more dense than Fulton.
Maybe one day in the next few decades Raleigh will become as desirable as Richmond is?
NC cities generally do poorly for their size in C-D threads because north carolinians generally seem to engage in less boosterism than neighboring states, and NC cities are historically less well known than their neighbors.
South Carolina has the world convinced they have better beaches-including a lot of north carolinians. Doesn't make them right. It's purely marketing.
