Five Forks, SC population, income and ZIP codes

Five Forks CDP is a mid-size town in South Carolina, with 19,093 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #33 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 38.4 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 Five Forks CDP earn a median of $140,668 a year, 79.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 165% 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 2.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Five Forks CDP is valued at $424,600, 39.9% above the national figure and 140% above the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,139 a month, 52.1% above the national figure, or roughly $25,668 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.2% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 88.2% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
