The short answer
The median build year in Longs is 2004, recent enough that the pipe itself is rarely the cause. On housing this age a house-wide drop more often turns out to be the pressure-reducing valve, and a single weak tap is usually the aerator on that fixture.

Longs has 6,786 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 2004 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

What 2004 tells you about the pipe in Longs
Housing of this vintage generally means copper and the first widespread PEX. Neither corrodes closed, so a genuine whole-house pressure drop in a house of this age is almost always a valve, the meter, or the supply into the property — not the plumbing inside it. More on 2000s supply pipe.
Median household income across Longs ZIP codes is $61,048, 7% below the SC median of $65,603.

Housing this new in Longs rarely has a materials problem, so the useful first step is the same one but the likely answer is different: count the weak taps, and if it is all of them look at the valve rather than the plumbing. Normal is 45–80 psi, under 40 psi is low — how to check. Whole house, or just the one.
