The Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office offers online solutions for accessing publicly sourced data. One way this is accomplished is through the use of a business intelligence dashboard tool that combines multiple public data sources for analysis and presents the information in attractive dashboards with dynamic reports, infographics, charts, and maps.
The Population Dashboard includes interactive charts and graphs showing population counts and changes by age group, race, and county. The data are also available for users to download. In this initial release, users can access population figures for 2010 through 2042. Actual population data and current estimates are from the U.S. Census Bureau. Population projections through 2042 are provided by RFA.
The Education Funding Dashboard summarizes funding and expenditures for K-12 education to inform the public and provide transparency on school district finances in South Carolina. In this initial release, the dashboard allows users to analyze and compare revenues, expenditures, academic achievement, and other data by district. As more data and additional years become available, more options and longitudinal analysis will be added.
