What it’s like
The place. Calhoun Falls is a small South Carolina town, and its households have lower incomes than across Abbeville County as a whole. Homes here are modest in price, and a four-year degree is held by few adults. Winters are mild, with cool days, nights that dip to freezing and very little snow, while summers run hot and the year brings a fair amount of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades close behind. Across Abbeville County, some of the biggest workplaces are the Abbeville 60 Schools district, Prysmian Cables and Systems USA and Abbeville Area Medical Center. Jobs in the county have slipped from the year before, and the typical trip to work takes a fairly long drive.
Things to do. Water is the main draw. Richard B. Russell Lake, a reservoir, and Calhoun Falls State Park both lie in or beside town. A short drive away, Rembert Mounds is an archaeological site, and Abbeville Opera House, a theatre, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Calhoun Falls’ census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Abbeville County.
