🏆 #1 in Midlands, #1 in SC — ALEX Intelligence 2026 In-Migration Ranking
Columbia’s 2.7% year-over-year rise in in-migration isn’t just a headline—it’s a structural signal. The data shows the Midlands is the top destination in South Carolina for households moving in, outpacing even Charleston and the Upstate. This isn’t a coastal migration pattern; it’s a regional shift toward stability. The source: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-10-columbia-sc-mig-trend-in-total
