In this Gateway Pundit article, Ben Kew reports that South Carolina has surpassed Texas and Florida as the top state for domestic relocation growth on a per-capita basis, driven by Americans fleeing high-cost blue states.
- South Carolina reportedly added more than 59,000 residents from other states between 2022 and 2023, amounting to just over 1 percent of its population.
- IRS data cited in the article shows the Palmetto State gained about 29,000 new tax filers and more than $4.1 billion in incoming income.
- The article frames South Carolina’s growth as part of a broader migration toward lower-tax, Republican-led states.
- Charleston, Greenville, and other South Carolina destinations are described as increasingly attractive to retirees, remote workers, and families.
- Texas and Florida still added more total tax filers because of their larger populations, with Texas gaining 56,473 and Florida gaining 55,349.
- California and New York continued losing residents and income, with California reportedly losing more than 100,000 tax filers and nearly $12 billion in income.
- New York reportedly lost nearly 72,000 filers and roughly $10 billion in income during the same period.
- The article argues that high taxes, rising costs, crime, and progressive governance are accelerating the movement away from blue states.
- The broader takeaway is that population and economic power continue shifting toward the South, especially to red states with lower costs and lighter regulation.
