Burton CDP, SC in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Burton CDP is a mid-size town in South Carolina, with 7,132 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #83 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 31.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Burton CDP earn a median of $57,315 a year, 27% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% above the $53,071 median for the 263 South Carolina cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 10.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Burton CDP is valued at $198,300, 34.6% below the national figure and 12% above the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,281 a month, 8.9% below the national figure, or roughly $15,372 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 51.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
