What it’s like
The place. Marietta is a small town in northwestern Greenville County, South Carolina, in the upstate foothills near the Blue Ridge. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and the typical home is valued well above what many older homeowners paid for theirs. Winters are cold, summers are warm, and the area gets a fair amount of rain through the year, with only light snow.
Work. Greenville County's unemployment has eased over the past year, and its number of jobs has grown. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in professional and business services, or in shops. A large share of adults hold a college degree, and a fair number of people work from home.
Things to do. Caesars Head State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away and is one of the best known spots in the region. Table Rock State Park, also a protected area, is likewise a short drive, and Bridal Veil Falls, a waterfall, is a short drive away.

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