The team at RubyHome Luxury Real Estate today released a study on states with the highest rate of new-build housing and they ranked South Carolina as having the 5th highest rate in the country.

To come up with their rankings, the company analyzed 2022 data from the United States Census Bureau on the number of occupied properties and volume of homes built from 2010 to reveal the states with the highest rate of new-build housing.

According to the 2022 American Community Survey, approximately 131,160,239 occupied households were recorded in the US. Of these properties, 15,726,042 were constructed from 2010, equal to 11.99% of the homes across the US. A total of 23 states had a higher rate of new-build homes than the national average, with these modern properties making up one in every five homes in some locations.

South Carolina took fifth spot on the study, with 19.75% of homes state-wide built post-2009. According to the latest Census data, there are 2,136,080 occupied housing units across South Carolina, with 421,785 recognized as structures built since 2010.

Texas topped the study as the state with the highest percentage of new-build properties. Housing structures built since 2010 totaled 2,495,270, making up 22.5% of all homes in the state. Residents of Texas are more likely to live in a new, modern property than any other state across the country.
