Charleston is South Carolina's largest city, with about 155,000 residents on the peninsula and in neighborhoods that spread across West Ashley, James Island, Johns Island and Daniel Island. It combines a historic downtown of antebellum houses and cobblestone streets with a modern economy anchored by the Medical University of South Carolina, the College of Charleston, The Citadel, a growing technology sector and a tourism industry that brings millions of visitors each year. The population includes students, young professionals, hospitality workers, long-established Black communities, and retirees in waterfront neighborhoods.
