Facts and Stats

  • Over the last 5 years, the average wage in Cabarrus County has increased from $37,808 (2017) to $43,687 (2022).
  • For every $1 million in investment, it would take 4 houses valued at $250k to equal that same amount of property tax generated back to the community. That means that projects like Red Bull or Lilly would require 4,000 houses to match that in tax revenue!
  • With incentives, a company is only paid if they do what they have committed to. The grant they receive comes out of their own property taxes.
