Living in Swansea



Swansea is a tiny town located in the state of South Carolina. With a population of 751 people and four constituent neighborhoods, Swansea is the 207th largest community in South Carolina.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 8.19% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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 32.93 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.

In terms of college education, Swansea ranks among the least educated cities in the nation, as only 5.86% of people over 25 have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.

The per capita income in Swansea in 2018 was $20,836, which is lower middle income relative to South Carolina, and low income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $83,344 for a family of four.
