South Carolina’s population growth, increase in developed land, test score rankings, and poverty indices are under scrutiny and facing unprecedented change. In the midst of these changes, it is important to assess how the state’s citizens perceive they are faring. Understanding concerns, where needs are going unmet, where there is optimism, and where resources should be targeted is the goal of the Self Portrait: How Are We Doing in South Carolina? An ongoing biennial survey developed in collaboration with the University of South Carolina’s Institute for Public Service and Policy Research Survey Laboratory, this project is designed to help us better understand South Carolinian’s perceptions of the state’s current and future outlook, if attitudes are changing over time and where changes in priorities may be in order.
