Ben Avon CDP, SC in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ben Avon CDP is a small town in South Carolina, with 2,334 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #175 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 35.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Ben Avon CDP earn a median of $46,736 a year, 40.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% below the $53,071 median for the 263 South Carolina cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 19.9% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ben Avon CDP is valued at $198,900, 34.4% below the national figure and 12% above the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,045 a month, 25.7% below the national figure, or roughly $12,540 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 43% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
