🏆 #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.

What does this mean for your strategy? As migration shapes value, the market is no longer just about location — it’s about who’s coming, why, and how long they’ll stay.
