ZIP code 29664

ZIP 29664 is a small town in Oconee County, South Carolina, with 1,754 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #319 of 424 ranked by population — larger than 24% of them. The median age here is 50.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 ZIP 29664 earn a median of not published a year. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 15% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 29664 is valued at $219,100, 27.8% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,012 a month, 28% below the national figure, or roughly $12,144 across a full year. 77.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

A median age of 50.6 puts ZIP 29664 well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

The Census withheld household income for ZIP 29664 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.

ZIP 29664 is tabulated inside Oconee County, South Carolina, one of 11 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 424 across South Carolina. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 29664 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 29664 reports a median household income of not published. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $219,100, close to the county figure and 31% above the statewide ZIP median.

South Carolina charges 6% statewide, and local governments overlapping 29664 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 29664 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
