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.
Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Swansea is worth considering.
One downside of living in Swansea, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 30.79 minutes every day commuting to work.
Swansea is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
The population of Swansea has one of the lowest overall levels of education in the country: only 4.55% of people over 25 hold a college degree. The national average for all municipalities is 21.84%.
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.
