Best In South Carolina Real Estate™: Hilton Head

Burton leads South Carolina in manufactured housing share at 36.6%, according to ALEX Intelligence’s 2026 data. This isn’t a sign of economic decline—it’s a structural response to affordability pressures. This is not a fallback; it’s a functional ecosystem. The rest of the Lowcountry—Hilton Head Island, Beaufort, and Bluffton—have near-zero shares, revealing a clear bifurcation in housing typology across the region. The data comes directly from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, 2024, as analyzed by ALEX Intelligence.
