Mullins city, SC in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Mullins city is a small town in South Carolina, with 3,965 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #122 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 36.1 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 Mullins city earn a median of $30,750 a year, 60.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 42% below 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 34.7% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.
The typical owner-occupied home in Mullins city is valued at $89,400, 70.5% below the national figure and 50% below the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $683 a month, 51.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,196 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 44.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
