What it’s like
The place. Bonneau is a very small town in Berkeley County, with far fewer people than most places of any kind. Household incomes here are well below the county's, while the typical home is still valued at a good deal. Winters are mild and brief, with little or no snow, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, manufacturing and shops. Relatively few adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical drive to work is a long one, though some people work from home. Across Berkeley County, the largest workplaces include Berkeley 01 Schools, Volvo Car US Operations in Ridgeville and Nucor Steel-Berkeley, and the county has been adding jobs.
Things to do. Lake Moultrie, a reservoir, is a short drive away, as is Whiskinboo Creek, a river for a quiet afternoon by the water. Farther afield, Francis Marion National Forest is a protected area reached by a longer drive. Cypress Gardens, a botanical garden, is also a longer drive from town.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Bonneau’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Berkeley County and the Charleston-North Charleston, SC metro.
