Bonneau, SC population, income and ZIP codes

Bonneau town is a very small community in South Carolina, with 536 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #331 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 30% of them. The median age here is 38.5 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 Bonneau town earn a median of $58,750 a year, 25.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% above the $53,071 median for the 263 South Carolina cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 33.2% 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 Bonneau town is valued at $235,500, 22.4% below the national figure and 33% above the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,188 a month, 15.5% below the national figure, or roughly $14,256 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.3% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 78.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
