If it was strongly influenced by southern states having transplants, I feel like NC would be much lonelier, but we actually did pretty good. That surprises me, because culturally and economically, our closest peer is Georgia, and they didn't do as well. The biggest difference between us and Georgia is that the a huge portion of Georgia's population is centered around Atlanta, while NC has two major metros (Charlotte / The Triangle) and lots of mid-sized cities spread all over. Would be interesting to see this data on a per-county or per-metro level.
