Quinby town, SC in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Quinby town is a very small community in South Carolina, with 865 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #283 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 40% of them. The median age here is 42.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Quinby town earn a median of $65,208 a year, 17% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% 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 14.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Quinby town is valued at $153,800, 49.3% below the national figure and 13% below the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $943 a month, 32.9% below the national figure, or roughly $11,316 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.4% 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 2.4×, 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. 87.8% 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.
