According to the Census Bureau, theCharlestonmetro region is now the eighth-fastest- growing part ofAmerica. From April 2010 to July 2011, the Charleston-North Charleston-Summerville community grew by some 17,000 people.
Fueling the growth has been the region’s good climate, relatively affordable housing costs and job opportunities, such as at Boeing.
One of the positives in the population growth that some of the recent influx has been from retirees who don’t add much burden to city services.
