Young Aikenites Return Home Fueled by Local Growth
Aiken County sees an influx of young residents as industry and lifestyle attract families and graduates. Despite mobility, 31 percent of locals are ages 16 to 34, with USC Aiken and local colleges expanding to keep graduates nearby. Residents call for more entertainment, cultural activities, and better job prospects to prevent outmigration. An industrial boom and new dorms aim to draw more youth, while community desires include theaters, bases for sports, improved sidewalks, and a public radio station.
