The State has a correction on page 2 this morning. Richland grew by 2.4%, Lexington by 3.1% and Kershaw by 1.1%. It's too bad the bogus news got out on the airwaves, and who reads corrections? I think someone had an agenda.
I was in Table Rock all weekend, no phone service, no Wi-Fi, no TV, so I grabbed the Friday edition of the State news paper, only because there was nothing else to read. There on the back page I noticed my city had stopped growing, it was mind blowing. Love TR, but I need the info.

Read the conversation above. It was bogus information.
Hello City-data world, I'm new to this website but love the data that I am able to find. I work in a recruiting department that relies heavily on knowing different industries around the US to find valuable places to recruit from. We also look at population, unemployment, family income, etc. Perhaps is more a product of me being new, but I all the data that I am looking for seems to be from the 2010-2013 census...does anyone know if there is more updated data/when the new census info will be available on this website?
It's that time of year. Except this time we get the official census numbers. It looks like all census data will be released on May the 4th according to their website.

As far as any realignments, I think Columbia gets Newberry but any other county is a wash. No idea if we will get Orangeburg and/or Sumter.
Myrtle Beach will almost certainly add Georgetown to its MSA.
No idea about Greenville, its anyone's guess as it changes every census drastically.
Charleston should stay the same.
Thoughts?
There was some conversation on this some time ago in another thread about Orangeburg and Sumter being added. Based on the definition of a CSA.. I would have thought both would be in Columbia's by now since that is a lower threshold than a MSA..I am surprised that at a minimum Orangeburg is not in it already but Saluda is. I know quite a few people that live in Orangeburg and commute on 26 into Columbia which seems like an easier commute than from Saluda down 378 through the western empire into town.
I know people in lower Orangeburg County who commute to Dorchester and Berkeley counties. And my first cousin who bought and farms much of my grandparents’ old land in southern Orangeburg County near the Dorchester County line sells a lot of produce in Summerville. I don’t mean to say there’s a chance Orangeburg County would ever be in the Charleston-North Charleston MSA. I’m just saying I’m not sure if the economic and social ties between Orangeburg and Columbia carry enough weight to make O’burg County swing that way per the Census Bureau this time around. But I’ve still got one eye on Colleton County and its commuting percentages to the Tri-County region.
Edit: on that last sentence I forgot which forum I was in.

Right, Orangeburg for sure is in the CSA but for some reason Sumter is not. If Sumter was included in Columbia's CSA then this would have pushed the population over 1 million. But then again, that would be 8 counties haha
At Michelin I knew quite a few people from Orangeburg as well that made the trek to Lexington county for work. Likewise for Edgefield and Aiken county, but they aren't in Columbia's CSA.
Since then, a lot could have changed since the manufacturing jobs (Volvo, Boeing) in Charleston could be drawing residents to work there. Orangeburg is such a huge county that the upper half probably works more in the Columbia metro and the lower half in the Charleston metro. Although with that said, I'd be shocked either way if Orangeburg made it into Columbia's MSA or Charleston's MSA.

I agree, I dont think it'd be enough to sway Orangeburg one way or the other. Both Metro's are still slowly creeping Orangeburg's way so it'll be a tug of war in the coming decades. Especially since Columbia has finally started seeing major developments towards Sandy Run.
Colleton county could be interesting and would be the next logical choice for Charleston (before Orangeburg I'd argue) via highway 17. But Walterboro (the chunk of Colleton counties population) is still 45 minutes or so from even the outskirts of Charlestons sprawl. What do they call it in sports, the darkhorse? Maybe Colleton county will be the darkhorse candidate for Charleston MSA-Ha
