There is something special about a small town. As the song says "everybody knows everybody, everybody calls you friend". If a tree falls on your house, the neighbors file over to help out without even having to ask. There are small towns and then there are tiny towns. Here are the tiniest towns in North Carolina and South Carolina.
The people at House Beautiful lists the tiniest towns in each state so I quickly filed through to check out the tiny towns in our states. I live in Clover, South Carolina and that is the smallest town I have ever lived in. Clover hails 6,671 residents to date. That is a metropolis compared to these tiny towns..
The tiniest town in North Carolina is located not far from Charlotte. You will find Dellview, North Carolina about an hour outside of the largest city in the state, that would be the Queen City. Dellview only has 13 people on record living there.

There are some high price tags. And the rich, well they tend to hang out with other wealthy individuals. The Oxford Dictionary defines wealth as "an abundance of valuable possessions or money". I typically think of wealth as the type of money that spans generations. Regardless the wealthiest towns in North Carolina are those with the highest median household income and home values.
