Hodges didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.
The typical homeowner pays $900 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 0.62% of the home’s value, vs 0.48% across South Carolina.
Typical yearly bill next door and statewide
The Housing page’s calculator splits a monthly payment into loan, tax and insurance at Hodges’s rate.
Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
