Lowrys, SC population, income and ZIP codes

Lowrys town is a very small community in South Carolina, with 357 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #368 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 22% of them. The median age here is 34.2 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 Lowrys town earn a median of $79,018 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 49% 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 10.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lowrys town is valued at $160,400, 47.1% below the national figure and 9% below the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,173 a month, 54.6% above the national figure, or roughly $26,076 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 33% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 81.6% 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.

Lowrys town is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 33% of median income while homes cost only 2× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 357 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lowrys town against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
