It may be that Charlotte is big enough to have dramatically different housing costs away from the core. I did notice that the one you posted has schools scored 4 and 5 our of 10 on GreatSchools.
This concept make no sense to me. If it's expensive, it's not mediocre.
Cost of living is driven by supply and demand, which can form independent of the desirability of an area (e.g. western North Dakota or West Texas due to oil jobs)

That's exactly what it is. Charlotte is over 300 square miles and core neighborhoods like Wesley Heights are more desirable.
