ZIP code 29921

ZIP 29921 is a very small community in Hampton County, South Carolina, with 628 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #368 of 424 ranked by population — larger than 13% of them. The median age here is 30.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 29921 is valued at $83,000, 72.6% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 72% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for ZIP 29921 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 29921 is tabulated inside Hampton County, South Carolina, one of 9 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 29921 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 29921 reports a median household income of not published. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $83,000, 12% below the county figure and 50% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

South Carolina charges 6% statewide, and local governments overlapping 29921 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 29921 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.
