Reading this South Carolina list

What the South Carolina numbers actually show.

South Carolina is unusually decentralised. No single centre dominates — the ten largest ZIP codes together hold just 11% of the 5,212,774 residents here, and 163 separate entries clear 10,000 people. State-level averages are more representative here than in most states, because there is no outsized core pulling them. Half of these ZIP codes hold more than 5,352 residents, which is a small-town scale: big enough for published estimates, small enough that one employer or one subdivision moves the numbers.

Buying is a little easier here than nationally: South Carolina's median ZIP code shows $166,650 in home value on $57,227 of income, a ratio of 2.9 against 3.9 across the country. Median gross rent runs $930 including utilities, or about 20% of median household income annually.

The internal range is wide but not exceptional: $87,521 at the ninetieth percentile against $38,858 at the tenth, a 2.25× gap. At the edges, 29482 tops the list at $179,614 and 29519 anchors the bottom at $13,156.

About one row in 11 is incomplete — 38 of 424 ZIP codes have a suppressed estimate, almost all of them at the small end. Five-year estimates average responses over sixty months, so what is published is a stable baseline rather than a reading of this month's market.

Questions people ask

Specific to South Carolina.

How many ZIP codes does South Carolina have? 424 appear in the current federal tabulation. ZIP code tabulation areas are the Census approximation of postal ZIP codes, so the count differs slightly from the number of ZIPs the Postal Service delivers to in South Carolina, and PO-box-only ZIPs have no area at all.

Which South Carolina row should I compare mine against? Pick ZIP codes within roughly the same population band. In a state this spread out, size drives the housing and income figures more than region does.

How current is this? Every figure comes from the American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year release published by the US Census Bureau, ACS 2019-2023 5-year estimates. It reflects the full survey window rather than a single date, and it is the most recent vintage available for ZIP codes this small.
