How many cars are in North Carolina?

My parents recently retired and moved to Wilmington, North Carolina. They both love the hospitality, the beach, and the historic downtown area. However, they tell me that traffic can be terrible. How many cars are there in North Carolina?

Wilmington is a lovely beachside city that offers big-city living at lower-than-average prices. But much like Wilmington, the rest of
North Carolina
is growing at a rapid pace—which would explain the traffic.
The U.S. Census Bureau found that there were 8.7 million cars in North Carolina in 2020. That’s the ninth most vehicles of any state and represents a 10.2% increase in car registrations from 2015 to 2020.
