Centerville, SC population, income and ZIP codes

Centerville CDP is a mid-size town in South Carolina, with 6,860 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #87 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 46.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Centerville CDP earn a median of $66,912 a year, 14.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% above 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 7.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Centerville CDP is valued at $212,800, 29.9% below the national figure and 20% above the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,027 a month, 27% below the national figure, or roughly $12,324 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
