Hollywood is a somewhat small town located in the state of South Carolina. With a population of 5,445 people and three associated neighborhoods, Hollywood is the 74th largest community in South Carolina. Hollywood has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Hollywood, where the median household income is $77,415.00. Hollywood home prices are not only among the most expensive in South Carolina, but Hollywood real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Hollywood is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Hollywood is a town of professionals, sales and office workers, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Hollywood who work in office and administrative support (11.50%), maintenance occupations (11.13%), and management occupations (10.77%). One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.92% 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. It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Hollywood has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Hollywood has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Hollywood than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here.
