As of 2012, the Piedmont Triad has an estimated population of 1,611,243 making it the 33rd-largest combined statistical area in the United States. The metropolitan area is connected by Interstates 40, 85, 73, and 74 and is served by Piedmont Triad International Airport. Long known as one of the primary manufacturing and transportation hubs of the southeastern United States, the Triad is also an important educational, healthcare, and cultural region and occupies a prominent place in the history of the American Civil Rights Movement.

Both of them are part of the Piedmont Crescent, a heavily urbanized region of the state that includes the city of Charlotte.
