Norway is a tiny town located in the state of South Carolina. With a population of 280 people and two constituent neighborhoods, Norway is the 253rd largest community in South Carolina.
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!) Norway 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. Norway has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Norway than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Norway may be for you.
One downside of living in Norway, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 35.85 minutes every day commuting to work.
As is often the case in a small town, Norway doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
In terms of college education, the citizens of Norway rank slightly lower than the national average. 16.23% of adults 25 and older in Norway have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree, while 21.84% of adults have a 4-year degree or higher in the average American community.
The per capita income in Norway in 2018 was $24,710, 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 $98,840 for a family of four. However, Norway contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
Norway is an extremely ethnically-diverse town. The people who call Norway home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups.

Important ancestries of people in Norway include German, Carpatho Rusyn, Polish, Irish, and English.
