The metro needs more than 17,350 new homes by 2030 and must build 43% faster than it does today to keep up with 16,256 new jobs (2025 regional housing study), anchored by Fort Eisenhower, home of U.S. Army Cyber Command, and the Savannah River Site. North Augusta grew 10.5% from 2020 to 2025, more than twice the metro's pace.
