📝 How we sourced this

Population, income, and housing-cost figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates (B-series tables). Crime data uses FBI UCR; climate uses NOAA Climate Normals; school counts come from NCES Common Core of Data; permits use the Census Building Permits Survey (BPS). See our methodology page for the full ETL pipeline and OMB / FIPS join keys.

A decision-led reading path

Useful questions to ask of Tigerville's data

How this reading path is ordered

This is not a composite city score. It is a city-specific route through the available public records, ordered for this profile so the page starts with questions the joined data can actually answer. The route here runs from work and mobility to comparison shortlist; another city can have a different sequence or fewer supported layers because the source joins are not uniform.

For Tigerville, city-specific coverage includes commute-mode shares. No matched row is reported here for within-city Census tract profiles, local building permits, annual population history, matched public-school count, FBI reported-crime rates; the page leaves those layers out instead of substituting a statewide or national value.

1. Work and mobility

What does the journey to work look like in Tigerville?

Mode share answers how workers usually travel; it does not measure congestion, reliability, distance to a particular job, or the quality of transit service. No single mode completely explains the work trip here. The mix is more useful than a one-number commute grade, especially when comparing places where transit, walking, and remote work divide the non-driving share differently.

Driving alone is the largest reported mode at 40.4%. A reliable mean commute time is not available for this row, so the mode shares carry the comparison.

Question 2

Which cities make useful reference points for Tigerville?

Within South Carolina, the closest population matches are Reidville (1,955 residents, $117,692 income); Hopkins (1,962 residents, $49,464 income); Mayo (1,963 residents, $47,384 income). Outside the state, the closest population matches in this dataset are Milford, IN (1,955 residents); Humboldt, KS (1,956 residents); Burns Flat, OK (1,954 residents). These are mechanical peer sets, not claims that the places share a labor market, climate, culture, or metro context.

Use the in-state set to hold state policy and broad price conditions more nearly constant. Use the nationwide size set to ask whether cities with a similar resident count produce different housing, income, or commute outcomes. The income set is a third lens, deliberately separate from population matching.
