Charlotte embraces and celebrates an ever-changing mosaic of cultures faiths and races. Individuals from all corners of the globe, and throughout the United states, have chosen to make their home in the Queen City.
In 2003, Charlotte was honored to be named the "Most Livable Community for the Visually Impaired" by the American Foundation for the Blind. Growing communities of Hispanic and Asian populations have expanded awareness, business, and cultural opportunities within the booming city limits. Black Enterprise magazine recently named Charlotte one of the "Top 10 Cities for African-Americans to Live, Work and Play," and Ladies Home Journal chose Charlotte as one of the top 20 cities for women.
While its religious landscape remains overwhelmingly Christian, new religious communities are becoming visible and vital in Charlotte. A large Hindu Temple, four Buddhist, and two Islamic centers are the most obvious witnesses to the influx of new immigrants.
During the last 20 years, Charlotte, North Carolina's largest city, has remade itself from a textile town into an investment banking center and international portal; a distinction that continually increases the quality of life for all its citizens.
