AbstractWilliamsburg County, South Carolina, is an almost entirely rural area near the coast. Although nearly 50% of the population is under 21, there has been a sharp decline in population since its high in 1950. The outmigration, prounounced for black youth, is caused by a lack of industrial opportunities, although there is slow, steady industrial growth in the county. Although the economic base of the county is agriculture, the per capita income is low due to the seasonal nature of many jobs. Agriculture itself if changing, with fewer farmers on larger farms producing $57.5 million annually in farm crops. Crop diversification, introduced in the 1920's, has made the county a leader in agricultural production in South Carolina. The black population is twice that of the white but a "home rule" form of government, desegregation, and civil rights have caused an equitable racial balance in county government. Seven local leaders interviewed in 1978 are generally optimistic about current and future development in Williamsburg County. They note recent improvements in government organization and county services, including the Williamsburg Council on Aging. The Council, chartered in 1974, provides county-wide programs and services for the elderly on an annual budget of $185,000. (SB)
