These days if you’re looking to make a move, you might want to do your research and find out which spots are trending in growth. And, U.S. News & World Report says 2 of the fastest growing cities in the country are in South Carolina.
So, where does the report indicate we find some of the biggest growth for 2024-2025? Well, out of 150 major cities in the country, they ranked the top 25, which is where we find 2 in the Palmetto State.
Although neither of the South Carolina cities making the list came in at number 1, they do make an appearance in the top 25. First of all, we’ll go ahead and let you know the top spot belongs to Fort Myers, Florida.
Fastest Growing Cities In The Country In South Carolina
But, if we scroll down to number 11, we find Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. To earn this spot on the list of the fastest growing cities in the country, the study notes Myrtle Beach’s resident population increased by 3.75% between the measuring period from 2021-2022.
And, while the study points out that we usually consider Myrtle Beach a place attractive to tourists, more and more we find people migrating there to stay. I see that myself in our travels. I know quite a few people who started vacationing there years ago. But, once they retired, they couldn’t get there fast enough to put down roots.
It’s easy to fall in love with the beach lifestyle. And, before you know it, you’re a local. Plus, the brotherhood and sisterhood of Myrtle Beach locals take you in quickly as one of their own. And, it soon becomes home.
The study lists the median home price at $289,054 and median household income at $57,807.
So, which other South Carolina spot made the list of fastest growing cities in the country? It’s none other than Charleston, coming in at 21. The median home price in Charleston is just over $500,000 and the median household income in just over $92,000.
There’s a lot to love about Charleston. It’s beautiful and charming with plenty of history. And, the culinary scene is delightful. Plus, the population increased by 2.95% due to net migration between 2021 and 2022.
We can’t get enough of the culture. And, every time we visit Charleston we find another great restaurant. One of our latest faves is Burwell’s Stone Fire Grill. And, Church and Union is amazing, too.
So, if you’re looking to make a move you might want to keep these locations in mind. And, make sure to see the full list before you decide. There’s spots all over the country you might find desirable!
