Piedmont profile


Living in Piedmont



Piedmont is a somewhat small town located in the state of South Carolina. With a population of 5,571 people and six associated neighborhoods, Piedmont is the 73rd largest community in South Carolina.

Also of interest is that Piedmont has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

A relatively large number of people in Piedmont telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 9.99% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. 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, Piedmont is worth considering.

As is often the case in a small town, Piedmont doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The citizens of Piedmont are slightly less educated than the national average of 21.84% for the average city or town: 13.18% of adults in Piedmont have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree

The per capita income in Piedmont in 2022 was $31,700, which is upper middle income relative to South Carolina, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $126,800 for a family of four. However, Piedmont contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
