Learn moreA real, in-city hospital
Tidelands Georgetown Memorial Hospital, located at 606 Black River Road in Georgetown, is part of the Tidelands Health system, which operates four hospitals and more than 70 outpatient locations across Georgetown, Williamsburg, and Horry counties -- a real, direct in-city hospital, not a nearby-but-external facility.
Crime data reads considerably higher than the national average -- disclosed honestly
NeighborhoodScout cites Georgetown's overall crime rate at 45 per 1,000 residents, one of the higher rates among cities and towns of all sizes nationally, with real, elevated odds of violent crime (1 in 118), property crime (1 in 28), and motor vehicle theft (1 in 384). This is a genuine below-average-safety read, disclosed directly rather than softened -- a materially different picture than several other markets in this dataset's SC batch.
No specific neighborhood is named as unsafe
Per this dataset's site policy, no specific neighborhood within Georgetown is called out as higher- or lower-crime here, even though sourcing referenced a general north-vs-southeast safety variation within the city -- confirm current, address-specific data directly with NeighborhoodScout, CrimeGrade, or the Georgetown Police Department before relocating.
