What it’s like
The place. Townville sits in Anderson County, in the upstate part of South Carolina. Most homes across the county are lived in by their owners, and many residents have deep local roots. Winters are cool and snow is rare, while summers are hot and rain falls through much of the year.
Work. Across the county, schools, hospitals and social care are the largest sources of work, followed by manufacturing, retail and professional and business services. Unemployment has eased over the past year, while the number of jobs has stayed about the same. Most people drive to work, and relatively few work from home.
Things to do. Lake Hartwell, a reservoir, is a short drive away and suits anyone who enjoys water and open shoreline. Woodburn Plantation, a museum, is also a short drive away and offers a look at the area's history. Sadlers Creek State Park, a protected area a short drive off, is a good choice for walks among the trees.

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