As a rapidly growing metropolitan area, Charlotte, NC has a constant ebb and flow in its available stocks and various factors from that ebb and flow impact the flows to and from the city. Skilled labour is both a stock and flow of the metropolitan area - with greater urban density increasing the capacity for an educated workforce the available stock diminishes without a necessarily commensurate growth in the flow of that stock into the city. Land and basic resources (food and water) remains as relatively stable stocks, while the flow is trending downwards for continued relatively low cost of acquisition (as evidenced by increased density within the urban core and suburban sprawl consuming resource producing farmland and water table resources).
