Living in Great Falls



Great Falls is a very small town located in the state of South Carolina. With a population of 1,914 people and two associated neighborhoods, Great Falls is the 141st largest community in South Carolina.

While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county.

Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
