* A special census for Dorchester County was conducted on August 8, 1995. Anderson, Charleston, Clarendon, Edgefield, Greenwood, Jasper, Lee, Marlboro, and Richland group quarters population corrected.

Note: The 1990 census and 1995 population estimates were adjusted by the Office of Research and Statisitics specifically for generating projections; therefore, these estimates will not exactly match the 1995 estimates produced by the U.S. Census Bureau.
