Literacy 2030 focuses on all South Carolinians being literate by 2030 yet there are many factors and conditions that have an impact on literacy and literacy rates. The data below is a sample of key indicators related to literacy by using a heat map to present data from each county in South Carolina. The data can be used to inform the decisions for building capacity in individual counties and communities. Our goal is to help public libraries build capacity to transform communities through collaboration with community partners to act on literacy-related outcomes and this is just a starting point for county-wide conversations.
To explore the data, select an indicator from the drop-down menu to view county comparisons related to the selected indicator. Counties were ranked into quartiles (4 groups) ranging from top to lower for each indicator. The lighter shade of green indicates counties with the most favorable results and the darker green represents less favorable results when compared among all counties in South Carolina. For county-specific data, click on the county of interest and scroll below the map for additional in multiple counties can be selected and viewed simultaneously.
