The place. Springdale is a small town in Lexington County, South Carolina, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run close to the county's, and a four-year degree is held by a minority of adults. Winters are mild and brief, with snow a rare thing, summers are hot, and rain falls through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, the building trades, and professional and business services. Across Lexington County, some of the largest workplaces are Lexington Medical Center, Lexington 01 Schools and Amazon. Commutes are fairly short, and only a small number of people work from home.

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