Diversity
It can be somewhat daunting to move to a new location. The sooner you get to know at least one or two people, the more comfortable you’ll feel, and the faster you will make even more new friends. Diversity is the name of the game in Gantt. There is a mix of Hispanic, black, white, etc. in a population of 14,000.
About 6% of the population is self-employed, 18% is retired, and a salary is earned by two-thirds of the residents. Many South Carolina-born and bred individuals have settled in this area. But, 20% come from out of state (but still in the US). From outside the United States, approximately 6% of Gantt’s population transferred in.
