I am slightly shocked though. I live here, so even I have a hard time believing Columbia was actually the top growth city numerically and, according to an article, also percentage wise in SC. Even if just for one year. Especially not double the percentage of Charleston…
I see the difference as the difference between the number of college students returning post-pandemic in Columbia versus in Charleston, as some students lagged in returning.

See I wouldn’t think that either. Simply because from living and working around here, it didn’t feel like 10,000 extra kids just showed up one day. Idk. I wish they gave a more in depth breakdown of where they got the numbers.

I think it’s relative to the number of students who live within the city limits of each city. Another factor may be fewer white Republicans leaving the city of Columbia to reside in Lexington County, now that there’s a white Republican mayor and a majority white city council. If that’s true, they weren’t subtracted from Columbia’s total for a change. Sadly, I heard and saw comments that supported that white flight theory for a good many years.
Scroll down to the the tab United States and that has the updated list of 2020-2023 MSA estimates. Where do you see the core-based? Isn’t core-based the urban population? If so I don’t know when the last time they updated those.
Edit: ohh I see what you mean. Yeah, scroll below that and click on the United States tab.

Thanks. Core-based just came out with MSA’s, I think. Urbanized area (my favorite for “true” city size) came a out a few months back.
But clicking on United States only brings up Wikipedia’s article on the United States. Still not seeing a link to click to bring up Wikipedia’s updated list of MSA’s and their populations. I’ll look some more, but not that important.
I don’t get a list when I click that link, only an article. The article has a link called core-based statistical areas. Even when I click that link, I don’t get a list, only an article about core-based statistical areas. It’s all good.
Yes, idk why I typed 10. I’m losing my mind today is all I can say…
