Method
How it was counted.
Source: NC OneMap parcels (North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis) (nconemap.gov), each county's own parcel data, republished by NC OneMap on the county's schedule, in one statewide format. Guilford and Onslow counties' records come from each county's own parcel layer; Orange County's property addresses come from the county's address points. Counted 2026-10-05 with Tracer’s Request Data filters, government owners left out.
A complete record has an owner name, a property address that starts with a house number, and a mailing street with a 5-digit ZIP. Out-of-state reads the mailing ZIP. Company owners are a text match on the owner name (LLC, INC, CORP, LP, TRUST, PROPERTIES, HOLDINGS or INVESTMENTS). Owners of 3+ group the exact owner name, counted for the 76 counties with 10,000+ complete records. “Share complete” is the county’s complete records against every row we store for it.
Single family is a parcel whose county use description says single family (townhouses and row houses too); a roll that only says Residential, like Wake's, isn't counted. In 60 counties under a quarter of complete records carry a property type, so their single-family cell in the CSV is blank. North Carolina rolls carry no homestead flag in this data, so there’s no absentee column. Cabarrus County isn't in these counts yet.
