South Carolina's overall cost of living lands close to the national average - a Bureau of Economic Analysis regional price index of 93.7 against 100 nationally - which is what the starting rent below is adjusted for, instead of a flat national default.

South Carolina taxes income at graduated rates up to about 6.4%.

That makes it the 33rd most expensive state in the country by this measure, out of 51 - worth knowing before assuming a national-average rent applies here.
