What these numbers say together
Camden, SC (ZIP 29020) sits in Kershaw County within the Columbia metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 43.8%. NCES lists 8 schools serving the area, 8 non-charter. 4 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $9,473. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $68,102, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $49,084 per worker, roughly 25% below the US average.

County Health Rankings reports 12,077 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. 33.5% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. South Carolina levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 6.20%); a household at the local median AGI of $68,102 would pay roughly $2,533/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 2,167 residents (857 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. Healthcare access and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $55,972, fair market rent of $970 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $235,984, up 0.6% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
These two readings tell a consistent story. Strong access numbers usually correlate with denser provider networks, and a high school count signals the population base that supports them. Reading them together: a household weighing this ZIP for a multi-year stay can expect both healthcare and education infrastructure to keep pace.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 21.3%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
