Kershaw town, SC in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Kershaw town is a small town in South Carolina, with 2,220 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #182 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 34.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Kershaw town earn a median of $58,077 a year, 26.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% 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 17% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kershaw town is valued at $145,800, 51.9% below the national figure and 18% below the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $893 a month, 36.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,716 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.5% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

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.
