Cheaper than Charlotte or Charleston. I'd pick Greenville over Columbia though.

Yeah but 2nd in the whole country?! In Gen Z net migration? More than NYC, Chicago, LA? Or even places like Denver, PHX, Nashville, Austin?

Always taking these types of articles with a dubious grain of salt. But it's a big college town with a large military base. Perhaps some higher level of transience not being accounted for in the data bumping it up.

You're telling me. I moved from #2 to #1. I know Columbia is quickly changing for the better but I didn't think it was that fast.

There are a couple scenarios where I would be happy to move back to NC (went to college down there). I cannot imagine ever moving to SC though, that state government is crazy and will never change.
