What it’s like
The place. McCormick is a small town in the South Carolina Piedmont, home to a quiet, close-knit community. Residents tend to be somewhat older than in many places, and household incomes run below the county's. Winters are cool and mild by northern standards, summers are hot, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also employing a good share. Across McCormick County, the largest workplaces include McCormick 01 Schools, Food Lion and the SC Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism. Jobs across the county have slipped slightly from the year before, and commutes are fairly long, with few people working from home.
Things to do. Baker Creek State Park and Elijah Clark State Park are both a short drive away, as is Hickory Knob State Resort Park, giving plenty of room for outdoor days. Farther afield, Lake Strom Thurmond is a longer drive and offers a large reservoir for time on the water.
