Gray Court, SC population, income and ZIP codes

Gray Court town is a very small community in South Carolina, with 731 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #305 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 35% of them. The median age here is 39.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Gray Court town earn a median of $64,286 a year, 18.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% 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 13% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Gray Court town is valued at $168,800, 44.4% below the national figure and 5% below the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $883 a month, 37.2% below the national figure, or roughly $10,596 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.5% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 78.8% 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.
