Just last month, Columbia was ranked #4 in SmartAsset’s list of cities where millennials (ages 20-34) are moving in 2019. Columbia’s net influx of 6,554 people makes up 4.95% of the population – making Cola the city with the highest percentage for this metric out of the 173 cities studied.

All of this population influx means that people will need to put down roots. Many could choose to rent, but market data shows it’s a good time to buy in Columbia.
