Wilkinson Heights, South Carolina has about 2,012 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $81,100.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Orangeburg County is $906 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Wilkinson Heights. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

South Carolina's prices sit at 93.7 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.

In July 2026, a typical South Carolina home paid 15.47¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Wilkinson Heights's bill.
