Best In South Carolina Real Estate™: Charleston
2026-09-27
🏆 Ranked #1 in South Carolina for Share Aged 65 and Over — ALEX Intelligence, 2024.
Hollywood, Charleston tri-county, now hosts 29.4% of residents aged 65 and older — the highest in the state. This isn’t a passing trend; it’s a foundational demographic shift reshaping housing demand, community planning, and long-term investment. As the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2024 data confirms, the city leads the tri-county in senior population, with Mount Pleasant (18.4%) and James Island (17.8%) trailing closely behind.
This highlights a critical difference: Charleston’s senior concentration is rooted in decades of stable, low-turnover development — not just recent migration.
