During the pandemic, there was a significant increase in Americans moving to more affordable and spacious areas due to remote work.
MoveBuddha analyzed data from 2023 and found that South Carolina, North Carolina, and Montana were the most popular states for relocation, with lower living costs and better climate being major factors.
In contrast, expensive and urban areas like California, New Jersey, and Connecticut experienced more outbound moves. (Trending: Democrat Excludes White People From Holiday Party In Controversial Email)
South Carolina, particularly Greenville, attracted people due to lower taxes, a warm climate, and a growing economy.
“Lower state income taxes, Republican politics, people moving away from the coast, warmer climate, and a booming local economy,” CEO of oXYGen Financial Ted Jenkin said.
“That’s why it’s so hot right now in addition to its proximity to a major hub in Atlanta.”
“South Carolina has it all. Our quality of life, rich cultural heritage, abundant natural resources, and thriving economy make South Carolina the ideal place to live, work, and raise a family,” he said.
“They’ve heard that these cities and others in the Southeast are ‘booming’ economically, have a lower cost of living than much of the country, and boast a desirable climate that experiences all four seasons without the snow of the north or the extreme heat of Florida or Texas,” top listing and buyer’s agent Stan McCune said.
“Looking at some of these bigger cities in the Southeast ultimately brings them to discover the Greater Greenville area, and what immediately endears people to Greenville is that it’s a city that maintains a small-town charm while still having big-city amenities.”
The trend of migration to South Carolina, especially from the Northeast, Chicago, Florida, California, and Texas, was noted, driven by reasons such as lower living costs and preferable politics.
