What it’s like
The place. Cross Hill is a very small town in Laurens County, South Carolina, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Typical home values here are modest, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places. Winters are mild and short, with the coldest weather in January, while summers turn hot by July. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services close behind. Very few people work from home, so most travel to a workplace. Across Laurens County, some of the largest employers are ZF Transmissions Gray Court, Laurens 55 Schools and Walmart. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year ago, and the county has added a few more jobs.
Things to do. Water is close by: Lake Greenwood and Lake Greenwood State Recreation Area are both a short drive away, as is the Reedy River. For a longer outing, Ninety Six National Historic Site and Sumter National Forest are both protected areas a longer drive away. Those who enjoy live performance can head to the Abbeville Opera House, a theatre a longer drive away.

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 Laurens County and the Greenville-Anderson, SC metro.
