What it’s like
The place. Moore is a small community in Spartanburg County, in the Piedmont region of upstate South Carolina. Winters are mild, with little snow and cold spells that come and go, while summers are hot and the rain falls often, so gardens and lawns stay green. Across Spartanburg County, most homes are lived in by their owners, and many people have stayed in the area for years, which gives its streets a settled feel.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and manufacturing and retail also employ a good number of people. Unemployment across Spartanburg County has eased over the past year, and jobs have grown a little. Across the county, a smaller share of adults hold a four-year degree than in many parts of the country, and fewer people work from home than in larger cities.
Things to do. The Saluda River is one of the best known rivers in the area and lies a longer drive away, where people go for water views and quiet time outdoors. Paris Mountain State Park, a protected area a longer drive away, offers trails and open woodland. Closer by, Hatcher Garden and Woodland Preserve, a botanical garden a short drive away, is a pleasant place to walk among plantings and trees.
