The South Carolina Department of Public Health has developed an interactive Life Expectancy Dashboard. The dashboard includes interactive data pages that allow you to view data that’s specific to each county.

Using the Filters

In the header of the dashboard there is one filter: Select a County. The filter can be used to view the county of your choosing.

Click the drop-down arrow on the filter to view the options available for use on the dashboard. The graphics below will update based on the options selected.

Using the Map

To view county-specific data, hover your cursor over the county you want to view on the state map. A black outline will highlight the county’s border and show additional information about the selected county. Click the drop-down arrow on each filter to view the options available for use on the map. The graphics below will update based on the options selected.

Tooltips

To view additional information about a graphic, hover over the graphic with your cursor and additional information, if available, will appear in a pop-up box.
