Labeled one of the nation's Hispanic "hyper-growth" cities, Charlotte may be seen as illustrative new immigrant and settlement geographies. Traditional models immigrant in central city neighborhoods have not followed here. Latino migrants to this south city moved directly maturing suburbs at a distance from both urban core its sprawling fringe. The availability apartment style rental housing is an important factor steering residential choice. Ethnic self-selectivity location and the social reproduction place among maledominated immigrant streams may also play a role. As Charlotte's population grows and matures, development expansive, suburban enclaves seems plausible.
