1 State Handbook of Economic, Demographic, and Fiscal Indicators 2003 South Carolina by David Baer PUBLIC POLICY INSTITUTE AARP
2 Introduction The State Handbook of Economic, Demographic, and Fiscal Indicators 2003 is an easyto-use reference book for anyone in search of up-to-date information about state economic, demographic, and fiscal conditions. Policymakers, public officials, and policy analysts will find useful data on such topics as population, poverty rates, per capita state personal income, state and local revenues, expenditures, tax rates, and property tax relief programs. Gender and age comparisons are provided for some of the data. Throughout the book we used the most current data available. State and national comparisons distinguish this handbook from other reference books - as do the 10-year comparisons and average annual growth rates for a number of important indicators. This handbook facilitates state-by-state and state-national comparisons, which can serve a variety of purposes. For example, a state's tax burden can be compared with the national average or with that of other states in the region. Per capita state personal income, unemployment, and median household income can be used to assess how residents in one state fare vis-à-vis those in another. The book is divided into three sections. The first, a state summary section, features a summary description of each state, the District of Columbia, and the entire United States. In addition, summaries of economic, demographic, and fiscal information for the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico are shown. Users interested in a particular state can go directly to this section and find information that otherwise would have to be assembled from a variety of sources and reference tables. Users will find statistics on several major economic indicators, such as state personal income, median household income, and employment, as well as on population and poverty, distribution of household income, revenues, expenditures, tax rates, and debt ratio measures. We have moved the miscellaneous tax rates information from the section on state and local general revenues to the tax section. This allows all tax rate information to appear in the same location for each of the state summaries. Moreover, we decided to remove effective real property tax rates (reported by the D.C. Government) because those rates could not be verified. We also added personal income, general sales, and miscellaneous tax information for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Furthermore, this book will now be available at for easy retrieval. 1
3 The property tax relief portion summarizes homestead exemptions and credits, circuit breakers, and tax deferral programs, all of which are defined in the source notes and explanations section at the end of the book. We did not include all of the state property tax rates, because they can vary within states, and because data on the varying rates are not easily available. Data on state and local general revenues and state and local general expenditures feature per capita and percentage of personal income figures, as well as average annual changes from 1990 to Comparisons can be made between each state and the national average of the amounts spent on expenditure programs. State and local debt information is provided on a per capita basis and per $1,000 of personal income. The composition of short-term and long-term debt is also presented. The second section of the handbook provides selected state economic, demographic, and fiscal data in separate tables and maps. This presentation of the data makes it easy to compare any or all states and the District of Columbia on such economic indicators as per capita income or gross state product. The tables provide state rankings for easy comparisons. Source notes and explanations can be found in the third section of the handbook, which describes data sources and defines appropriate concepts or terms. Most of the information in the handbook comes from the U.S. Bureau of the Census and from a telephone survey of state and local government offices, such as state legislative offices and state and local assessors offices. Additional sources include the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the District of Columbia Government. As state and local economic conditions and demographic patterns change, policymakers may have to adjust their policies on taxes and spending programs. These adjustments become more difficult when economic and demographic changes depart from historical trends. It is our belief that this publication will contribute to more informed public policy decisions by identifying significant economic, demographic, and fiscal changes. 2

Real Property Tax Limits, Caps, or Freezes With voter approval, counties can prevent fair appraised real property values from increasing by more than 15 percent between assessments. Local taxing districts cannot increase their property tax rates by more than the inflation rate (CPI rate) from the previous year. This limitation does not apply to bonded indebtedness or to new construction/property or additions. This limit can be overridden for various reasons or circumstances, including the following: (1) a decision by a majority vote of the local governing body that has provided public notice, (2) in cases of emergencies declared by the governor, and (3) in order to raise revenues to comply with judicial mandates.
