UPDATE: 2020 Census Data Release

The U.S. Census Bureau released the population counts from the 2020 Census needed for the redistricting process on August 12, 2021. This data is not in a 'user-friendly' format and requires processing by our statisticians before it can be used for its intended purposes. Please note that gender and age are not included in this release. Check here for population tables, downloadable files, and dashboards.

The Census Bureau will release the same data in an easier-to-use format on their website by September 30, 2021.

The BEA Revises FY 2020-21 Projected Surplus, Increases FY 2021-22 Revenue Forecast
April 8, 2021
COLUMBIA, SC – The S.C. Board of Economic Advisors (BEA) voted Thursday to increase its revenue forecast for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 as recent data showed economic activity did not fall as expected earlier in the fiscal year. The BEA had reduced its Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-21 revenue estimate prior to the pandemic by $803.7 million in November 2020. Today’s action restored $610.4 million of that reduction.
