Sangaree, SC population, income and ZIP codes

Sangaree CDP is a mid-size town in South Carolina, with 8,517 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #71 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 36.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Sangaree CDP earn a median of $77,939 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 47% 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 14.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sangaree CDP is valued at $231,900, 23.6% below the national figure and 31% above the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,428 a month, 1.6% above the national figure, or roughly $17,136 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 86% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
