South Carolina Towns TO AVOID At All Costs (And 3 That Are Actually Safe)

#SocialSecurity #SouthCarolina #Retirement South Carolina real estate agents do not want you to see this video, because this state is adding roughly eighty thousand new residents a year and almost none of the marketing tells you which towns to actually avoid while everybody else buys in blind. I pulled real FBI and SLED crime data myself on ten towns across this state, and what I found surprised me: a border town where two highways used for drug trafficking cross directly through downtown, a port city where the crime rate spiked nearly sixty percent in a single year, a city carrying the single highest violent crime rate in South Carolina after a sixty-nine percent jump, and three towns just outside Charlotte where one of them logged only three violent crimes in an entire year. This is South Carolina Towns TO AVOID At All Costs, and the three that are actually safe. 🕐 TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - Intro 1:40 - Town #7 3:48 - Town #6 5:58 - Town #5 7:49 - Town #4 9:45 - Town #3 12:08 - Town #2 14:02 - Town #1 16:49 - Safe Town #1 18:39 - Safe Town #2 20:22 - Safe Town #3 21:58 - Final Thoughts 📌 TOPICS COVERED Kingstree, McColl, Georgetown — declining rail, border, and port towns where population loss and property crime have outpaced any economic replacement for the industries that built them Sumter, Florence, Allendale, North Charleston — larger cities and towns carrying some of the highest violent crime rates in the entire country, including an honest look at the real, measurable progress North Charleston has made in the last year South Carolina's retiree tax picture — the state fully exempts Social Security income from state tax and offers a homestead exemption on property taxes at 65+, a real consideration when weighing safety against affordability Tega Cay, Fort Mill, Clover — York County's Charlotte-suburb trio, verified among South Carolina's safest towns, with an honest caveat that Tega Cay and Fort Mill carry a real price premium for that safety while Clover offers the same profile at a lower cost 🔔 Subscribe for a new video every week on the best affordable small towns and retirement spots in South Carolina. 💬 Tell me which of these ten towns matches where you're already living. 👍 If this helped you rethink where to retire, tap like.
