Mount Croghan, SC population, income and ZIP codes

Mount Croghan town is a very small community in South Carolina, with 138 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #431 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 9% of them. The median age here is 48.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Mount Croghan town earn a median of $65,833 a year, 16.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% 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 6.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mount Croghan town is valued at $106,300, 65% below the national figure and 40% below the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.6×, 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. 79.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld gross rent for Mount Croghan town because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
