According to the annual North American Moving Services report of annual migration, South Carolina was once again on the  top of the list of States people were moving to in 2020. South Carolina has consistently ranked in the top five since 2016. Why do people choose to move here? Several reasons and here are the top five reasons.

1. Weather. Many people are leaving harsh winters behind to enjoy the mild and temperate weather found here in South Carolina. You won't find a foot of snow here unless you travel to the mountains and that's a wonderful option for those who wish to have it on their demand. Visit it and then return home to milder conditions.

2. Jobs. South Carolina's job market has been doing well as nearby Charlotte, North Carolina is headquarters for Bank of America and has major offices for Wells Fargo. Charlotte is sometimes perceived as just a banking town, but there are many more businesses that employ the growing population. 

3. Commute. The City of Charlotte is conveniently located within an easy commute to communities such as Fort Mill, Lake Wylie, Indian Land, Rock Hill, Clover and many more areas. This affords a variety of options for people to choose from when deciding where to plant their roots.

4. Affordability. This is definitely another contributing factor to why people are moving here from areas such as New York, New York, Anaheim, California, San Diego, California, Chicago, Illinois and Riverside, California. The housing costs there are much more expensive then in South Carolina. They find their dollar goes much further in the type of home they can afford.

5. Top Rated Schools. The schools here are consistently rated highly. Just look at the Fort Mill School District which is #1 in the State of South Carolina as one quick example!
