What it’s like
The place. Hodges is a very small town in Greenwood County, South Carolina, with far fewer people than most towns on this site. Homes here are valued below what is typical across much of the country, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is usual. Winters are mild and cool rather than harsh, with January the coldest month, while July brings hot summer days, and rain and melted snow add up to a fairly wet year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and restaurants and hotels also providing steady work. Very few work from home. Across Greenwood County, the largest workplaces include Self Regional Healthcare, Greenwood 50 Schools and Lander University. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year earlier, and the county had a few more jobs last year than the year before.
Things to do. A short drive away, the Reedy River offers time by the water, and Greenwood Community Theatre puts on live performances. For a longer outing, Lake Greenwood is a lake to fish, boat or simply sit beside, and Ninety Six National Historic Site is a protected area where history is the draw.

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