Is it wrong for me to think that these stats are a little hard to believe? Who would have thought Columbia outpaces Charleston in this regard. Bravo Columbia! What constitutes this outpacing of GDP growth amongst our in state peers?

It's not hard for me to believe at all. Now if Columbia all of a sudden leapfrogged Charleston in terms of actual per capita income within that two-year span, that would have made me raise an eyebrow. But it wasn't that long ago that metro Columbia actually did have the biggest per capita income among the state's metro areas.
