Hollywood is a somewhat small town located in the state of South Carolina. With a population of 5,503 people and three associated neighborhoods, Hollywood is the 74th largest community in South Carolina. Hollywood has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Hollywood, where the median household income is $73,693.00. Hollywood real estate is some of the most expensive in South Carolina, although Hollywood house values don't compare to the most expensive real estate in the U.S.Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Hollywood is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Hollywood is a town of sales and office workers, professionals, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Hollywood who work in sales jobs (13.65%), office and administrative support (13.25%), and management occupations (9.56%). Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 15.24% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes. Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Hollywood is worth considering. In Hollywood, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 35.58 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average. As is often the case in a small town, Hollywood doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.The education level of Hollywood citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 32.08% of adults in Hollywood have at least a bachelor's degree.
