During the height of the pandemic, South Carolina was one of the fastest-growing states in the nation. That was entirely due to people moving in from other places, new census estimates show.
Within the Palmetto State, Horry County gained the most residents, followed by Greenville, Spartanburg, Berkeley and York counties.
The Myrtle Beach area in Horry County has traditionally been at the top of population growth lists for the state. That metropolitan area was the fifth-fastest in growth nationwide from 2010-20.
