What it’s like
The place. Hollywood is a small town in Charleston County, home to an older population than most places, with a median age well above the national figure. Nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and typical home values run high. Winters are mild and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year and little or no snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, professional and business services, shops, and the building trades. Across Charleston County, large employers include The Boeing Company, the Medical University of South Carolina and the Charleston school district. Commutes are fairly long, and a share of people work from home.
Things to do. Angel Oak, a protected area with a famous old tree, is a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to Fort Sumter, a fort in Charleston's harbor, and to the USS Yorktown, a museum ship. The Charleston Museum is also within a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Hollywood’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 Charleston County and the Charleston-North Charleston, SC metro.
