KNOW YOUR GEOGRAPHY

The Lowcountry, Grand Strand and Upstate.

The 2025 Census county outlines preserve the coastal and island pieces retained in the cartographic source. The editor assigns those pieces to their county, including Beaufort and Charleston.

Use the county name and five-digit GEOID when joining records. Myrtle Beach is within Horry County, while an observation for a municipality or island may cover far less than a whole county.

COMMON QUESTIONS

South Carolina county map questions.

Does the county outline include the Sea Islands?

It includes island pieces retained by the 2025 cartographic source and colors them with their county.

Which county GEOID covers Myrtle Beach area data?

Use 45051 when an estimate covers Horry County. Myrtle Beach city figures use a smaller geography.

How do I compare Charleston and Upstate counties?

Keep the same measure, units and reference period across counties. Use Charleston’s county GEOID 45019 and the official codes for the Upstate counties you select.

Why does Jasper stand out in both population maps?

Jasper had the highest percentage population gain and net domestic migration rate among South Carolina counties in this release. The two maps measure different quantities.

Can I map the Charlotte area on both sides of the state line?

Use the national county editor for York and any North Carolina counties in your comparison.

Can I isolate a coastal city or barrier island?

The editor selects whole counties. Use an appropriate finer boundary source when the city or island is the geographic unit.
