Living in Swansea



Swansea is a tiny town located in the state of South Carolina. With a population of 760 people and four associated neighborhoods, Swansea is the 207th largest community in South Carolina.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.70% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Swansea has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Swansea a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

In Swansea, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 30.79 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.

As is often the case in a small town, Swansea doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

Swansea ranks among the bottom of the nation in terms of college education compared to other cities and towns: only 4.55% of people over 25 have a college degree.

The per capita income in Swansea in 2022 was $25,068, which is middle income relative to South Carolina, and lower middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $100,272 for a family of four. However, Swansea contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.

Swansea is an extremely ethnically-diverse town. The people who call Swansea home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Swansea residents report their race to be Black or African-American, followed by White. Important ancestries of people in Swansea include African, English, Irish, German, and Eastern European.
