Fact-check: “Is the population of South Carolina the fastest growing in the country?”
Verdict: Mostly True (94% confidence)
Yes on the most recent official state estimates, if "fastest growing" means percentage growth. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that South Carolina was the nation’s fastest-growing state from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, and the state’s own Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office repeated that result using the Census estimates. But if someone means raw numeric growth rather than growth rate, South Carolina was not No. 1 in total population gain.
