Red Hill CDP, SC in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Red Hill CDP is a mid-size town in South Carolina, with 16,480 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #37 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 42.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Red Hill CDP earn a median of $62,132 a year, 20.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% 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 22.6% 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 Red Hill CDP is valued at $223,900, 26.2% below the national figure and 26% above the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,078 a month, 23.3% below the national figure, or roughly $12,936 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.8% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 74.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
