Lyman town, SC in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Lyman town is a mid-size town in South Carolina, with 6,317 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #92 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 31 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Lyman town earn a median of $69,688 a year, 11.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% above the $53,071 median for the 263 South Carolina cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 8.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lyman town is valued at $239,800, 21% below the national figure and 35% above the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,157 a month, 17.7% below the national figure, or roughly $13,884 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.9% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 88.7% 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.
