Best In South Carolina Real Estate™: Charleston

🏆 #1 of 3 tri-county metros, #1 of 8 SC counties — ALEX Intelligence 2026 Charleston’s outbound migration is not a flight from the market—but a strategic reallocation to a single, high-growth county in South Carolina. The data shows 564 households moved from the Charleston tri-county (Berkeley, Charleston, Dorchester, SC) to Greenville County, SC—more than to any other U.S. county in 2022–23. This is not a sign of weakness, but of deep regional integration. This ranking is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Service’s Statistics of Income Migration Data, county-to-county outflows, 2022–23, published by ALEX Intelligence on October 10, 2026: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-10-charleston-sc-mig-out-dest The trend shows Charleston is not losing people to the void, but redistributing them within a high-opportunity corridor.
