McLeod Health and the logistics economy as real rental-demand drivers
McLeod Health's regional healthcare workforce and Florence's I-95/I-20 logistics/distribution job base together represent real, diverse, ongoing sources of rental demand -- a genuinely broader base than a single-employer town, though specific rental-market segmentation by employer wasn't independently confirmed this pass.
How renting compares to buying in Florence specifically
Given Florence's own disclosed housing-price spread ($169,370-$360,246 depending on tier and source, see housing-market) and current mortgage rates, renting remains a meaningfully lower monthly commitment than buying for most Florence renters -- though this general pattern holds across nearly every metro in this dataset and isn't unique to Florence.
