Whitney CDP, SC in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Whitney CDP is a small town in South Carolina, with 3,659 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #129 of 475 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 40.7 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 Whitney CDP earn a median of $49,181 a year, 37.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% below the $53,071 median for the 263 South Carolina cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 13.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Whitney CDP is valued at $136,700, 54.9% below the national figure and 23% below the $177,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $899 a month, 36.1% below the national figure, or roughly $10,788 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.9% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 62.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

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.
