Subject
Rural geography--South CarolinaDescription
This report was undertaken to reexamine the South
Carolina Department of Commerce’s definition of a
rural county and propose changes to the definition, if
necessary. Upon examination, this study found that
while the change to the Metropolitan Statistical Area
(MSA) definition of rural status, adopted in early 2007,
improved the rural vs. urban classifications of South
Carolina’s counties when compared to the actual
conditions on the ground, the method still has several
rankings that belie the actual conditions in several South Carolina counties.
