Is it easier to land top positions form a semi target if the school is closer to where firms are located?

I’m currently weighing my choice for undergrad between Duke and UNC Chapel Hill. For New York and other northern cities, Duke is a target and UNC is a semi target. Obviously I can still get land something if I went to UNC, but it would certainly be harder. With that being said, however, I’d honestly prefer to try landing a spot in Atlanta, Charlotte, Miami, Houston or somewhere else in the south. Since UNC is so close to Charlotte, could it be considered a target instead of semi target for those firms? Additionally would it have a little extra prestige in other southern cities since it’s a southern school? Also any input on Duke vs unc in terms of both cost and hiring opportunities is greatly appreciated.
