If you’re new to Charleston, here’s where you’re most likely to be from

Most people moving to Charleston aren’t Yankees, or even people from elsewhere in the South — they’re from South Carolina.

Predictably, the top two counties where new Charleston County residents come from are Berkeley and Dorchester counties, according to IRS data. Migration within a metro area is pretty common. But of the six next most common places people move from, all but one is in South Carolina. And the one that isn’t is Charlotte, which includes part of South Carolina in its metro area.

If you filed your taxes in Berkeley County in 2015, and then filed in Charleston in 2016, then you’d be on that top bar.
