Best In South Carolina Real Estate™: Hilton Head

Hilton Head leads South Carolina in in-migration growth, with a 13.8% five-vintage increase in households moving in—ranking #1 of 10 Lowcountry metro counties and #1 of 10 South Carolina cities on ALEX Intelligence’s 2026 In-Migration Growth list. This is not a seasonal surge but a structural shift in population distribution, driven by remote work, lifestyle migration, and long-term housing demand. The data, sourced from U.S. Internal Revenue Service Statistics of Income Migration Data (2023 vintage), shows that the top counties sending households to the Lowcountry include Suffolk County, NY, and Charleston County, SC—highlighting a regional, not national, trend. This is the real estate intelligence behind the numbers.
