Cayce city, SC in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Cayce city is a mid-size town in South Carolina, with 13,718 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #45 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 36.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Cayce city earn a median of $58,095 a year, 26% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% 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 17.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cayce city is valued at $158,900, 47.6% below the national figure and 10% below the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,358 a month, 3.4% below the national figure, or roughly $16,296 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.1% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
