- Wow these people in South Carolina aren't even loaded!
Today, we’re going to explore the richest cities in South Carolina. Some of these places are out of your budget, but ALL of these places are all very nice and safe. If you’re thinking about moving to South Carolina, and you want to live in any of these South Carolina cities we’ll talk about, you’d better be able to bring home the dough though. Depending on where you live, some of the cities we’ll talk about might not be that expensive. Or maybe they are.
In order to rank the richest cities in South Carolina, we collected census data for every South Carolina city with more than 5,000 residents. I looked at how much each household earns annually, how many people are unemployed, and what percentage of the population lives in poverty. I then based on median income level, unemployment rates, and poverty rates. We then took this data and assigned each city a score to rank them.
Here are the richest cities in South Carolina.

Here's my entire South Carolina playlist: czcams.com/play/PLq-_cmf3H6ypRVCj_FaXDrb1vjsw-Ro6v.html
Hello Nick, Thanks for another great video. I lived in Myrtle Beach for 2 years. SC is a nice state. People are friendly!!!
They are Don :)
Fort Mill! I went down there last summer, I was exploring possible relocation destinations! Also went to Mount Pleasant. South Carolina is beautiful 😍
Very cool!
I lived in Mount pleasant and it’s definitely a wealthy city, but I also lived in Greenville and there’s some serious wealth in and around Greenville too.
Btw..... You're right about tourists having no room to complain about traffic! That is why I stay away from Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area! The traffic! 🚦🤭⛔
I loved living in South Carolina from 2008 to 2013! I lived in Summerville which was next to Charleston and I worked in Hanahan at the BiLo which is now Lowe’s in the beginning of your video. my kids and I would always go to Isle of Palms beach over by Mount Pleasant. And I lived in Simpsonville for a year before I moved here to San Antonio and I worked off Publix before they moved it over down around the corner
You've lived everywhere!
I love IOP
I live in Summerville...I love it!!!
My Daddy lives in Summerville. Brother, wife and their kid live in Charleston. It's a fun place to visit. We didn't grow up there. We're from VA. Mom & my family are still here. But yeah... There's a BIG disparity between the rich areas and the poor areas. Middle class is still shrinking.
How are you living in these rich areas and working at a grocery store?
I lived in Rock Hill for 6 years and always loved going to Fort Mill and Tega Cay nearby,they were quiet,small and peaceful. Fort Mill has exploded with growth though, doesn't even seem like the same city it was 15 years ago.
They are rich because of Charlotte, NC. Some escapists to reduce tax burden move to rock hill and fort mill though they work in Charlotte
@@MilesToGo78 thanks captain obvious,anywhere that has been there knows that.
I live in Charlotte,I don’t even consider Rock Hill/Fort Mill/Tega Cay to be South Carolina .
@@lukewarmwater9274 well luckily your name is Luke Warmclown and not Rand Mcnally.
@@757-David you are fooling yourself if you think my name is really “Luke Warm Water “
I appreciate all the hard work that you put into these videos!
So informative. Thank you
Thanks Mr.Johnson for the good video on the Palmetto state!. South Carolina is a state that I’ve always thought was somewhat underrated in certain aspects. I live in south Florida at the moment but I wouldn’t mind South Carolina.
Excellent presentation!!
Nick I am hooked on your show. I wake up and grab my phone to see where your travels have take you each day. I relocated to Charlotte NC about 8 years ago, but it's rapidly becoming way to crowed for me. I am thinking of SC as my next destination. Thanks for your videos. They are a so entertaining plus educational.
I live in Seneca, SC. I live in the same house I grew up in, and my neighbors have been here my whole life!
My roommate is from Seneca and grew up their where his parents still live in same house he grew up in. He loves Seneca!
I agree with Simpsonville it is very nice place to raise a family 👪
i live in south carolina so keep the sc videos going love it!!!!
Lived in Fort Mill from 2007-2020. In 2020 we moved to the beach. Now live 1mi from the beach. At times miss Fort Mill but had to jump at the work opportunity to transfer to the beach.
OMG, I can’t believe you mentioned Bennettsville, SC! That is where I was born and where my family lived forever. My grandparents, father and stepmother are buried there. I still go back for visits with family and friends, even though I have lived in San Diego, CA for over 30 years. You can definitely get deals on houses there, although a good job and education may be a challenge. I still have a lot of love for the area though. This is a great video!
Good video really educational
You look great in that outfit, Nick! Great research on this vid! I have heard good things about the Carolinas! :)
Nice video nick do one next on charlotte. Suburbs
Watching your videos makes me want to travel and visit those areas. 👍🏻
Well, Nick, you convinced us. First with the video on Greenville. We checked out Upstate South Carolina and our offer on a house was accepted for a home in Greer, near Greenville and Spartanburg. It's funny how making the decision on a place for retirement was the hardest one of all. It came down to Tennessee or SC. We had specific requirements as I am also a pilot with a small plane and we want to keep flying for as long as I am able to. Airpark homes are more difficult to find and more expensive. We have previously rented a hangar but in the current market none are available and probably won't be for years. Tennessee is definitely more tax friendly, with no income tax, and no tax on retirement income. I will pay more tax in SC while I continue to work part time, but very minimal tax in full retirement. Property taxes are low in both states. There seems to be much more sound fiscal policy with excellent public-private collaboration on issues such as homelessness as well. I'm a Northerner, and my primary worry is cockroaches! Here's hoping upstate is better than the lowlands in that regard. Additionally, we found out that there are opportunities there to help with real solutions for homelessness (for those who want to change their lives), which my wife and I want to be involved in. Also, we work in medical missions in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, and we will be closer for our flights there. Overall, a win-win. You have amazing content and we will keep watching your channel. We have also joined your Patreon. Keep up the good work.
@@buckybarnes3803 hope to have you as a neighbor.
Some mighty fine suburbs on this list! I'm looking forward to your list of the top 10 Richest Cities in Mississippi, Nick.
I should do that next!
I'm waiting for the 10 Poorest Cities in Connecticut video. Seriously though, with the exception of the honkey tonk area of Myrtle Beach, coastal SC is pretty exclusive.
Thank you Nick for the info on south Carolina. I live in Rock Hill
Ok!
Yay back to Happy video Nick& Hi Mappy I hope you are doing well Nick&mappy. 💖😇😉💓
0:25 Shem Creek in Mt. Pleasant. Ate at the Water’s Edge Restaurant a week ago Saturday & then headed out to The Windjammer in Isle of Palms! Someday I hope I can snowbird in South Carolina!
Very informative and has made me move SC to my list of places to explore for relocation. I just retired and I’m looking to lower my expenses
Ok!
Good job Nick. I will definitely contact you if i decide to move back to the states..
Okay!
I lived on HHI for several years and I loved it!!
Wow 😯 you can buy a massive house for not much money. In the U.K. houses are so expensive where I live. You’re looking at a four bedroom home with double garage, and a small garden for at least £650,000. Those homes are mansions, I suppose they can afford a cleaner and a gardener. James Island looks gorgeous. Thank you I learn so much and see the real US which is what I want to see.
Thanks Nick! Good thinking!!-your besties, nick and mando
Ok!
Ok!
Charlotte had unbearable traffic 20 years ago and still does . NYers would love it 😍
I love Charlotte though I moved from Columbia SC..Traffic is everywhere even in Columbia during peak hours.. so if we live in city we have to live with traffic
Wait, I thought Charlotte was in NC?
@@WhittyPics That’s NC too
@@WhittyPics you think that Highway 160 traffic is bad. Go to Rock Hill on Celanese Road. Go to the Charlotte Highway in Indian Land. Buster Boyd Bridge near Lake Wylie South Carolina.
This NYer doesn’t love anything about traffic!
I love that you left out Lake Wylie! We are not really eager to be discovered...
Lake Wylie is an unincorporated section of York Co that uses incorporated Clover, SC zip code.
It’s so funny you mentioned Lake Wylie. I found it on the map through my research and thought to myself there’s an area that is interesting. We are looking for a retirement home and trying to avoid more popular cities but close to amenities. My dream is to have a lake in my backyard or within a walk and the ability to drive to the beach when I want the ocean. I discovered Lake Wylie but I promise to keep it a secret! 😁 I would love to visit and check it out.
Wow! Nice shirt!
Always
Mount Pleasant looks nice, but looked muddy, and the foliage seems like it could be slightly poisoned from the soil. The "Palmetto Grande" mall palm 🌴 tree looks like it is dying, and so did the grass in the front of one of the houses 🏘. Other than that not bad.👍🏽😎
Chemtrails are killing trees everywhere
This is so nice a break from the worst (of the worst) videos, it's always fun 2 out the rich (of the rich) especially when it's hidden out in the wide open but what the weird difference about (i consider this being a hickstate) this place is the beach🌊🎭
We just bought a home in Goose Creek. Super nice and affordable little city, while being only 25-30 min from downtown Charleston!
Hi Nick!!!❤️❤️❤️
I lived at Dolphin Point in HH Plantation for 8 years. Now building a house in Inman.
Nick, This video was very informative for sure!! I was wondering how Aiken SC ranked in your study of SC richest cities...........
Hi Nick, I grew up on Hilton Head and you described HHI and Bluffton PERFECTLY!! When you said some people might view Bluffton as “boring” and said tourists are why HHI has traffic I started laughing bc it’s spot on! Loved this video and love the channel!!
Cheers!
😎 cool video
These towns look pretty peaceful.
So good
Really looking at Tega cay.
Hi Nick!❤️❤️❤️
Hi Diane!
Could you visit Willowwood SC next? It doesn’t actually exist, but it should.
Can you make a video of Montana again please. I used to live there and moved out. Now I have 3 kids and plan on moving my family out there next summer or maybe this year if our money and the weather is good but that's a reach. We would appreciate it sir, thank you.
I know the Forest Acres area very well because I used to live in that area when I was a kid. I also like the Lexington area too, but I like to actually be in Columbia. But the northeast part of the city is better because it's cheaper and there's no traffic. Thank you for posting this video, and please do more videos about South Carolina in the near future because they really inform me. Especially the Columbia area because that's where I'm from and all
Go NE Columbia! 😀👍
Northeast is like Forest Acres, Fort Jackson, and Clemson Rd?
@@W81Researcher That's probably more like the north side of Decker Boulevard, Two Notch Rd, and Lake Carolina. Not so much Ft. Jackson and Forest Acres
@@moriyahviera6444 Thats not a good area at all. I been around those places.
Nick,ARE you jealous of Mappys popularity? He can't help it if he's adorable! Lol
I am certainly NOT Lori!
Nice!
I want that shirt!
Haha it's a one of a kind :)
Simpsonville, and five forks is where the money is in the upstate. A home was just on the market for 10million plus.
Murrells Inlet here. Originally from Surfside Beach. Definitely not wealthy myself. Wayyyyy too many people moving here and the cost of living is rising and rising.🌞
Lovely shirt
dang i need to move to SC
Love the Pokémon intro in the beginning.
I never played with Pokémon but I appreciate it for what it was
Yeah your not lying about Mount Pleasant but honestly Kiwah Island and Daniels Island should have gotten special mentions.
Forest acres and Simpsonville look really nice and it's affordable. I could be happy there. Just hope the people moving in don't ruin it. Wish I had known about Nick and his relocation business before I moved to Texas. It's not bad here, but South Carolina looks really nice.
Forest Acres is more expensive than NE Columbia. (More North and more East than Forest Acres.)
@@scrapbookaholic Is NE Columbia nice?
Well. You can get a 2 bedroom condo in chicago for around 300 grand. Or go to South Carolina and get a nice home with a yard.
Is Charleston a good place fow the pdr business... car body repairing...and the food business? Wich cities are the bests for that?
Where did you get that dashing shirt?
Nick, what businesses tend to be located in these top places? Or do these people commute? I can imagine some of these places are quite pretentious with golf courses and country clubs.
The average home price in Simpsonville seems low to me. I know this was a year ago but we are the poor people in town and bought our house for just under $250k in December 2021. Most homes seem to start around $400-$500k minimum! Also traffic here is terrible (specifically Woodruff Rd.) and can be worse than Mt. Pleasant (lived there for a couple years too).
I lived in New York for 3 years from 7-9th grade although I went to military school in Camden South Carolina in the 8th grade and there is a massive difference in the grading system. Namely each grade goes down by 10 so a 90+ is an A and an 80+ is a B and so on whereas New York has a much harder grading system going down by 3s
Hard to believe a 96 is a B.
south carolina only just changed that back when i was in a junior/senior is high school.
it used to be 93+ A ….. they changed it per state law. they said to make it better on kids. basically… gave a little break to the kids who always “cut it close” and makes the over all state scores for schools seem better.
I've lived in Hilton Head for 6 years and its great. Most full times (70%?)are retired and live in gated communities with country clubs. You better plan on 1M+ for a home and its not the cheapest place to live. Great people, lots to do, and its safe living.
Yet but most of these cities or towns are overcrowded now I know this because I am a 42 year resident of South Carolina
and judging by the building sites all around it will be much more crowded very quick. Is Mauldin OK to buy a house?
My only experiences in South Carolina are tourist Hell Myrtle Beach, Marion, and Darlington. Not exactly the best places in the palmetto State. I will say we are looking forward to trying Charleston and Folly Beach
I live here.
Myrtle Beach is pretty nasty, Charleston is way better
Folly Beach is beautiful and the BEST beach in SC to visit!!!
I live in Florence sc I do agree myrtle beach is quite nasty and dangerous but it’s the best beach in the palmetto state and the largest folly beach is of course awesome but myrtle beach attracts more
@@ajgreen4406 that's the problem. It attracts. Stand out too much you get noticed. And run down.
Is that a wedding Singer shirt you are wearing? ❤️😎👞👔
No
I live on Lady’s Island. Not cheap anymore people!!!
I was hoping Sullivans island was on the list?? Just heard about it. Seems like it would be similar to James Island?
It is but it's exclusive. Not just anyone can actually move ON to Sullivan's Island. You can't even drive into it without a pass at a gate. Maybe that's why it's not on this list.
@@GenXfrom75 same for Kiawah
Those aren't cities
@@NickJohnson ok thanks for letting me know
@@GenXfrom75 I thought it might be a gated community thank you
I'm almost 100% certain the photo you used in the thumbnail is Mackinac Island, Michigan.
The best public schools in the state.... and that still doesn't say much. Surprised nothing from the upstate was listed. Which is good for my family, since we're leaving Charleston for Greenville soon!
Is Greenville a nice place to live for coming times??
@@carolinacarvajala8704 what do you mean?
Hmm…some of my favorite SC towns are Kiawah Island and Aiken….
Kiawah isn't a city
@@NickJohnson she didn't say city she said town. Oh and I live in Aiken County, SC. Liked your video...
This is my favorite state.
MORE MAPPY!!!!
Nick, did you buy your shirt at a Seinfeld auction? If so, how much did you bid?🏴☠️
I've had that thing forever
Hey Nick I never been to South Carolina I’ve been to North Carolina I didn’t like it the beach was rocky
Along the coast is referred to as the lowcountry, not the upstate btw!
I Lived In Aiken For 11 Years
I Really Enjoyed Living There, Definitely Would Retire There... MemoriesMemoriesMemories
Too bad the prices are going up in bluffton since the population is rising fast 😭😭
How is Mouldin area close by to Woodruff is it nice area to buy a house?
Yes. It is in between Simpsonville and Greenville!
Tega cay is more of a neighborhood in fort mill in my opinion
Tega Cay only have one Elementary school and don't have no high school or middle school. If they go to middle school or high school they go to the Fort Mill School District
We live off island on the bluff.
the puffy shirt
So Clemson didn't make the list. Fort Mills is home to Carowinds at the NC/SC border.
Clemson is not a city!
@@dadejavusc uh yes it is
Lancaster it one Adi affordable cities that's near Charlotte
Is South Carolina growing fast
Yes
i grew up in south carolina! kindergarten - high school. my parents werent the richest but we got by. lived in irmo, near columbia and lexington, and chapin! its southern. its friendly. its cozy. and you dont gotta be super rich to live okay. buuuuuut i happened to get into a lot of trouble with Lexington county… because of my own choices. not because of the state. you choose your way in south carolina. school is important. sports is important. making a living is important. family is important. there is bad, but you dont have to choose bad here. if you want out the south and want more…. you can make it happen. schools are good enough to get ya out! i love south carolina. but living in las vegas, ive missed a lot of culture living in SC. the culture is southern. i went to Plantations for field trips in school. picked cotton in 2nd grade!! LOL but its a beautiful state. and close to the coast. i hope it never changes. and remains slow. i want to retire there.
Kiawah? Seabrook?
👌👌👌
Edisto Island
Wb Sullivan's island??
I live in Forest Arces 🤣🤣
Yay!
Bluffton gotta be on this junk
Hey this is my state!
Cool!
I grew up and still live in fort mill. I’m not gonna lie I’m kinda surprised it’s on this list. 😭😭 but my dad pays the bill so…
Looks like you forgot kiawah island XD
Charleston has to be on the list.
It is not. Some parts are pretty bad
@@NickJohnson 😮😮😮 I really thought it would make the list too!!!
