Paxville, SC population, income and ZIP codes

Paxville town is a very small community in South Carolina, with 386 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #363 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 23% of them. The median age here is 45.6 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 Paxville town earn a median of $56,071 a year, 28.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% 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 15% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Paxville town is valued at $156,800, 48.3% below the national figure and 11% below the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $783 a month, 44.3% below the national figure, or roughly $9,396 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.8% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 61.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 386 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Paxville 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.
