Overall Ranking of County to US Ratios from 2009 Kids Count Indicators (2009)

The indicators are taken from the 2009 Kids Count Data Book. The South Carolina sources for each indicator can be accessed at http://sckidscount.org/essay09.php.

The Overall Ranking for each county is computed by dividing each county's percentage for an indicator from the 2009 Kids Count Data Book by that indicator's percentage. Then all the county/US ratios are averaged to produce an overall county/US ratio.
