Lancaster lands in the national county income distribution as above-median household income on smaller county footing (FIPS 45057, 4 ZIPs, combined population 79,478). On this short ZIP list the county page is mainly the FIPS bridge - household ACS fields live on the primary ZIP.

Above-median income with few ZIPs: treat the top code (29720) as the primary ACS record and this county page as the FIPS bridge. Intra-county contrast is limited by construction.

Population clears twenty-five thousand even with few ZIPs - density can still swing hard inside the short list. Compare the top two rows by population before treating FIPS 45057 averages as uniform.

Within South Carolina, Edgefield is the closest lower-income county and Lexington the closest higher-income county by average ZIP household income. Their 5 and 14 ZIP footprints are the immediate statewide comparison set for Lancaster. Use those locations as statewide context before treating the county average as a local-market answer.
