I moved to Greenville in late 2022 so I am a little biased but it really is beautiful, close to the mountains and a few hours to the ocean. Great weather, fantastic restaurants a downtown that is a model for the rest of the country. So many great parks and outdoor activities. If you are looking come check it out, you will be hooked.
Thank you for sharing your perspective, Ras. You're absolutely right that Florida continues to attract many new residents each year, contributing to its status as one of the fastest-growing states. However, it's also important to acknowledge that while Florida experiences significant inward migration, it also sees substantial outward migration. As discussed in the video, thousands of individuals and families are indeed choosing to leave Florida for various reasons. Both inward and outward migration play a role in shaping the demographic landscape of the state. Your input adds valuable context to the ongoing discussion about migration trends in Florida. Thank you for contributing to the conversation!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you found the video informative and fair in its comparison of Greenville and Columbia. It's always my aim to provide helpful insights that viewers like yourself can appreciate. If you have any further questions or topics you'd like to see covered in future videos, feel free to let me know. Thanks again for watching!
Greenville is the largest county and metropolitan area in South Carolina and a CSA of 1.5k, number 40 in the nation. Anyone who has lived in a big city knows that a city is known by its metropolitan area, not by its city limits or boundaries. Those who think that Charlotte is bigger than Atlanta or Jacksonville is bigger than Miami just because of the city limits, don't tell me that Charleston or Culumbia Greenville is by far the most populated with the most people in square miles despite its 29 square meters.
Thank you for sharing your insights! I appreciate your perspective on considering metropolitan areas when comparing cities. However, in this particular video, my intention was to focus on a comparison between Greenville and Columbia based on more straightforward parameters rather than delving into the intricacies of metropolitan statistical areas. Comparing cities can be multifaceted, and different criteria can yield varying results. In this case, I aimed to highlight specific aspects of Greenville and Columbia that viewers might find interesting or informative. Both cities have their own unique charm, amenities, and cultural offerings, and my goal was simply to shed light on some of those differences without getting into the complexities of broader metropolitan areas. Thank you for watching and engaging with the content!
The urbanized area is the real barometer. Metropolitan statistical area populations include people in the rural areas of each county within the MSA. The urbanized area population includes only the population contained within contiguously developed areas within the MSA surrounding the MSA’s principal city. Charleston’s urbanized area is the largest in the state. Columbia’s is next, then Greenville’s. Spartanburg has its own urbanized area. Charleston’s urbanized area has about 140,000 more people than Greenville’s.
@@mattwoolsey2758 Thank you for your detailed explanation and insight into the population dynamics of South Carolina's major cities. Your clarification on the differences between metropolitan statistical areas and urbanized areas provides valuable context for understanding the urban development patterns within each city. It's interesting to note that Charleston boasts the largest urbanized area in the state, followed by Columbia and then Greenville. This information highlights the varying degrees of urbanization and population density across these cities, each with its own unique characteristics and appeal. Considering this perspective, it's evident that Columbia, as the state capital, maintains a significant urbanized area, which contributes to its status as a prominent economic and cultural hub in South Carolina. Greenville, with its rapidly growing urban core and surrounding suburban areas, offers a distinct blend of urban amenities and natural beauty, while Charleston's historic charm and coastal location make it a standout destination in the region. Understanding the nuances of urban development and population distribution enriches discussions about the strengths and opportunities of each city. I appreciate your contribution to this conversation and the valuable insights you've shared.
@@mattwoolsey2758Not sure I agree, but for the record, the U.S. Census gives Mauldin its own urbanized area which exceeds 160k. Combining that with Greenville's urbanized area population, the 3 major cities in South Carolina are actually very close in real size. However, in the long run, Greenville will pass Charleston and Columbia. It is the dead center of what is known as Charlanta. You know, the I85 corridor. And, the Upstate population far exceeds the Midlands and Low Country. Within the next 10 years, there will be over 1 million people living in Spartanburg and Greenville county alone. Already their populations far exceed Berkeley and Charleston counties, and for that matter, Lexington and Richland counties. And, if you've ever been to Mauldin, it is indistinguishable from Greenville. One will not know if they left Greenville when entering Mauldin. I'm sure it's a technicality that gives Mauldin its own urbanized area. However, it without a doubt, is a failing in the rules. Simply put, Greenville has swallowed Mauldin and Simpsonville for that matter.
Charleston-North Charleston is growing at a faster rate than Greenville-Anderson-Mauldin. And Charleston’s urbanized area is about 140,000 larger than Greenville and Mauldin’s urbanized areas combined, actually, meaning the essence of Charleston is more contiguously populated than the essence of Greenville to the tune of about 140,000 people. Spartanburg is its own city, MSA, and urbanized area with its own essence. But if Greenville needs Spartanburg’s help, okay, whatever. Bigger isn’t better anyway. Uniqueness goes further. It is easier to move to Greenville right now than it is Charleston. I’ll give you that. Stay tuned.
Anyone know where the park with the paved walkway is at 1:31 in Columbia area? Or perhaps this is just a stock video? If it's a place here, I'd like to visit because I have never been to that exact location and it looks great!
Thanks for sharing your perspective Scott! It's true that Greenville has its own unique charm with its beautiful scenery and vibrant downtown. However, Columbia offers its own array of attractions and opportunities that make it a wonderful place to live and visit. From its rich history and cultural diversity to its thriving arts scene and outdoor recreation options, Columbia has much to offer residents and visitors alike. Each city has its own distinct character, and it ultimately comes down to personal preference. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts!
