Mount Pleasant's growth outpaces state, nation

New population forecasts show growth in the town of Mount Pleasant outpacing Charleston County, the state of South Carolina and the United States. The forecast comes from Jerome N. McKibben of Rock Hill-based McKibben Demographic Research.

From 2005 to 2025, the population of the United States is forecasted to grow 16.9%, from 296 million to 346 million. The state of South Carolina is expected to grow 21.2%, from 4.2 million to 5.1 million.

Charleston County is forecasted to grow 18.8%, from 330,000 to 392,000. And the town of Mount Pleasant is expected to grow 24%, from 59,100 to 73,300.

The study was completed in April and used a number of factors to determine population growth through 2025. Indices included mortality and fertility rates, migration patterns and economic factors.
