Turbeville, SC population, income and ZIP codes

Turbeville town is a very small community in South Carolina, with 703 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #309 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 35% of them. The median age here is 33.2 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 Turbeville town earn a median of $41,667 a year, 46.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% below the $53,071 median for the 263 South Carolina cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 23.5% 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 Turbeville town is valued at $120,300, 60.3% below the national figure and 32% below the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $603 a month, 57.1% below the national figure, or roughly $7,236 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59.2% 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 703 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Turbeville town against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
