Best In South Carolina Real Estate™: Charleston

Charleston tri-county leads South Carolina in net household migration, gaining 3,942 households between 2022 and 2023 — according to the IRS’s bidirectional county-to-county flow data. This is not a seasonal spike; it’s a structural demographic shift, confirmed by verified, two-way disclosures. The number is a floor — actual migration may be higher. This ranking reflects Charleston’s growing status as a permanent, self-sustaining destination. How does this migration pattern affect your strategy?
