Two entries deserve a note. Honea Path straddles the Anderson-Abbeville line, so its 3,686
\nresidents are split between the two counties, most of them on the Anderson side. Piedmont, a
\nformer Saluda River mill village, straddles Anderson and Greenville counties; its full 5,411
\npopulation is a combined citywide figure, not an Anderson-only count. A third place, Clemson,
\nsits almost entirely in Pickens County — only about 40 of its 17,681 residents live on a
\nsliver of annexed land inside Anderson County, so it is not listed above as an Anderson place.<\/p>\n
