South Carolina Early Childhood Data Report
This data book serves to share information about the environmental factors impacting children, ages 8 and under, in South Carolina, compared to North Carolina, Georgia, and the United States as a whole.
There is no one comprehensive indicator of child well-being. Rather, well-being spans physical, social-emotional, and cognitive health and development. Since children do not grow up in a vacuum from their parents or communities, there are a variety of factors that influence overall well-being and long-term flourishing.
