Meet Your Neighbors
Cary's residents are active, educated, and ready to shop!
With its plentiful shopping, large homes, and focus on family and kid-friendly activities, Cary is a popular destination for people relocated from the North. In fact, that's what's earned Cary its tongue-in-cheek acronym-based nickname, "Concentrated Area of Relocated Yankees." (In truth, the 2000 Census found that a little more than 55% of Cary's residents were actually born in other states.)
