Demographics of South Carolina
The U.S. State of South Carolina is the 24th largest state by population, with a population of 4,625,364 as of the 2010 United States Census.
==Contemporary demographics==
South Carolina's center of population is north of the State House in the city of Columbia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=United States Census Bureau )〕
According to the United States Census Bureau, as of 2012, South Carolina had an estimated population of 4,723,723, which is an increase of 44,493 from the prior year and an increase of 98,359, or 2.1%, since the year 2010. Immigration from outside the United States resulted in a net increase of 36,401 people, and migration within the country produced a net increase of 115,084 people.
According to the University of South Carolina's Arnold School of Public Health, Consortium for Latino Immigration Studies, South Carolina's foreign-born population grew faster than any other state between 2000 and 2005.〔("The Economic and Social Implications of the Growing Latino Population in South Carolina," ) A Study for the South Carolina Commission for Minority Affairs prepared by The Consortium for Latino Immigration Studies, University of South Carolina, August 2007. Retrieved June 4, 2008.〕 The Consortium reports that the number of Hispanics in South Carolina is greatly undercounted by census enumerators and may be more than 400,000.〔〔(""Mexican Immigrants: The New Face of the South Carolina Labor Force," ) Moore School of Business, Division of Research, IMBA Globilization Project, University of South Carolina, March 2006.〕
South Carolina’s population increased by 15.4 percent between 1990 and 2000 and by another 7.4 percent between
2000 and 2005; 11.6 percent of that increase has been attributed to immigration, primarily from Mexico and Latin America. Most work in the construction industry, with another proportion in agriculture, in addition to processing factories. Latino population has increased considerably faster in South Carolina and the Southeast than for the United States as a whole.[Darien Blair Sutton and Doug Woodward, Ph.D., ''Latino Immigration: Implications for Business'' ), Division of Research, June 2009, pp. 3-5, Darla Moore School of Business, University of South Carolina, accessed 1 May 2015〕 ]
The five largest ancestry groups in South Carolina identified by respondents to the US census are African American (29.5%), American (13.9%), English (8.4%), German (8.4%) and Irish (7.9%) (thus a total of more than 39% from northern Europe). Many African Americans also have some northern European ancestry.
From 1720 until 1930, African slaves and their descendants made up a majority of the state's population. (See census data below.) Whites became a majority in the state after that date, following the migration of tens of thousands of blacks to northern industrial cities in the Great Migration. In the 21st century, most of the African-American population in the state lives in the Lowcountry and the Midlands areas, historically areas of their greatest concentrations of population.
6.6% of South Carolina's total population were reported as under 5 years old, 25.2% under 18, and 12.1% were 65 or older. Females made up approximately 51.4% of the population in 2000. Those who self-identify as having American ancestry are of mostly British Isles ancestry: English and Scots-Irish stock.
