What shapes a project in Summerville
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Newer suburban housing
Census estimates for 2020-2024 count about 22,800 housing units in Summerville. About 52 percent were built in 2000 or later and about 19 percent before 1980. About 64 percent are single-family detached homes and about 5 percent are mobile homes.
Earthquake risk
About 70 percent of South Carolina's earthquakes occur in the Middleton Place-Summerville Seismic Zone. Additions and structural changes here are designed with that risk in mind.
