The area, bounded by the Belk and Brookshire freeways (the I-277 loop), is further broken down into four wards. Of them, First, Third, and Fourth Wards have residential areas. The Second Ward is made up primarily of city and county government offices. The residential population of the center city is approximately 10,000. Uptown is where Charlotte's business sector is located, largely made up of banking and other financial service industries. About 55,000 people work in Charlotte's center city. Museums, sporting venues, hotels, restaurants, and bars are heavily concentrated in uptown as well.
