I'm not sure what you mean by "adulthood"... do you mean age of consent for sex? If that is what you are after, here's a link.
LEGAL AGE OF CONSENT (ageofconsent.com) Age du consentement à l’acte sexuel

I'm asking for the legal age to move out of your parents house.

I've tried my damndest, but I can't find anything. If I were you, I would just call the nearest courthouse and ask them. Surely they would know.
The age of majority in North Carolina is indeed 18, as per North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 7B (Juvenile Code) Article 1 (Definitions) §7B-101(14):
Chapter 7B - Article 1
However, eligible applicants over the age of 16 may petition a court for a decree of emancipation, as per North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 7B (Juvenile Code) Article 35 (Emancipation). Note, though, in particular, that (§7B-5303): "The petitioner has the burden of showing by a preponderance of the evidence that emancipation is in the petitioner's best interests. Upon finding that reasonable cause exists, the court may order the juvenile to be examined by a psychiatrist, a licensed clinical psychologist, a physician, or any other expert to evaluate the juvenile's mental or physical condition. The court may continue the hearing and order investigation by a juvenile court counselor or by the county department of social services to substantiate allegations of the petitioner or respondents."
Chapter 7B - Article 35
In other words, a decree of emancipation would be very much the exception to the rule, and would be agreed to only in special, proven sets of circumstances.
