South Carolina by the numbers

South Carolina's largest profiled market is Charleston city at 152,014 residents, while the median South Carolina city on LocalVein has a population of 3,409. About 92% of the South Carolina cities we've indexed sit below 25,000 residents — the exurb tier. Large metros and small towns sit on the same list because they produce different agency economics — higher deal density in the metros, lower competition per capita in the exurbs.

Median household income across South Carolina's profiled cities sits at $53K, with Kiawah Island town topping the ranking at $237K and Arthurtown CDP anchoring the other end at $20K — roughly a 12× spread. The same vertical will have different close rates on the high-income end versus the low-income end; agencies that sort by income before dialing save hours.

Across the 266 South Carolina cities in this table, the median Market Opportunity Score is 29 out of 100, and Sullivan's Island town currently leads at 57. About 0% of South Carolina's profiled cities score ≥70 — the tier where agencies report the highest first-touch close rates. Agencies new to South Carolina typically warm up on the top three cities before expanding down the table, because the signal-to-noise is highest there.
