🏆 #1 in Charleston tri-county, #1 in SC — ALEX Intelligence 2026 Charleston’s in-migration surge is not just notable — it’s unprecedented. The tri-county area saw a 33.0% rise in households moving in between 2017-18 and 2022-23, outpacing every other U.S. county with comparable data. This isn’t a blip — it’s a structural shift. New residents are driving demand, supporting prices, and reinforcing long-term value. For context: the source of this data is ALEX Intelligence’s own 2026 analysis of IRS migration data — a direct, verified dataset that excludes all portals and broker feeds. https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-09-charleston-sc-mig-trend-in-long What does this mean for your strategy?
