Socioeconomic Statistics

The cost of living in Anderson is well below the national average with an index of 70.6. The main reason for this is that the housing in the city is so inexpensive; the median home price is $59,100.

This is true for both adults and children, with some sources stating that mental disorders are twice as common among low-income groups.
