South Carolina One of the States People Are Drawn to for Low Cost Living

Author Randi Moultrie
March 16th 11:29 AM

Have you seen the recent prices for some of these items? Inflation is truly getting out of hand for some of us for sure. Some people have gotten to the point where they are even relocating due to the prices of the things around them. It’s crazy because some states are truly just beyond expensive for certain people. But, where are they going?

Money Talks News is discussing where people are relocating to. Many people would like to flock to cheaper areas where they can live a lot more comfortably. United Van Lines identified people who claimed a lower cost of living as their reasoning for relocation. But, there are specific states that people are flocking to, so we’re wondering where that is. One Carolina state made that list and we’re kinda surprised, but understanding at the same time. South Carolina is the No. 8 state that people are relocating to due to inflation. A little over 14% of people relocated to South Carolina due to better living costs. The average cost of rent in South Carolina is several percent lower than the national average. South Carolina also has the 6th lowest property tax rate of all U.S. states. Sounds like South Carolina residents certainly get to save a lot more money compared to several other states in the country.

If you currently live in South Carolina, then cheers! Are you contemplating moving or do you enjoy living in the Carolinas already? Check out the full article here and see what other states people are flocking to for a lower cost of living.

  • 12. Hendersonville, North Carolina

    The first North Carolina town we’re seeing in the top 20 is the town of Hendersonville. Hendersonville is a small town tucked in the mountains with some of the greatest views. There are tons of things to do in this quaint town such as apple picking, visiting local breweries, hiking, and even playing in a swimming hole. This is clearly a nature lovers type of place.

  • 11. Beaufort, North Carolina

    Up next, is Beaufort. Not South Carolina, but North Carolina. Beaufort, North Carolina is the state’s third oldest town. That’s pretty old, right? There are tons of restaurants with great food that you can enjoy when you’re in town. There are barrier islands also in the area that you can take a ferry to visit and see what other hidden gems are all around Beaufort. I have only heard of Beaufort in South Carolina so I guess I should give it a try and see about this one!

  • 5. Blowing Rock, North Carolina

    Coming in at No. 5 is Blowing Rock, North Carolina. That’s right, Blowing Rock is a mountain town (obviously with that name) and has some of the best views in the state. One of the most notable things to see while in Blowing Rock is the 4,0000 ft. cliff that gives you the most amazing view. It may be a mountain town, but there is tons of fun you can enjoy or plenty of peace and relaxation.

  • 2. Beaufort, South Carolina

    The top Carolina city to make the list is Beaufort, South Carolina. It’s the second best small town in the South and one of the state’s best destinations to visit. This beach town is full of pines and palm trees to enjoy, the Beaufort river, and beautiful architecture that you can enjoy while you’re there! Now, one of my favorite parts of the area is the food! That seafood is top tier and can be enjoyed over and over again!
