Non-rhotic accents in the american south

around where I live in Coastal North Carolina it is practically non-existent. I say non-existent because I have never heard it from a native of this area, and only transplants from other southern regions have it (Ms., Ga., La., etc)

Southeastern Louisiana, where I live, is home to a unique accent, Yat, which is non-rhotic and sounds very similar to the Brooklyn accent.
