Talk:Upstate South Carolina

message: Why refer to the Upstate as the "Upcountry" throughout the article, when the page is about the Upstate? Shouldn't the article only note that it is also known as the Upcountry, and then throughout the rest of the article use Upstate? Upcountry was perhaps the historical term, but being one of the most populated areas of the state, there is not a whole lot of countryside left. Just my opinion.
I've changed it back to the Upstate. Nobody in that region refers to it as the Upcountry anymore. That user is apparently not familiar with the region because if so they wouldn't have put The Upstate instead of The Upcountry . Leoanrd23 11:43 30 January 2006 (UTC)
There is no evidence to support that the upstate is the fastest growing area in South Carolina why does this page claim it? Either evidence needs to support this claim or the claim needs to be changed.(tauricornTauricorn 22:47, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course there is evidence. Census Bureau data comparing the Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson Combined Statistical Area (CSA) with the CSAs in the rest of the state.
Abbeville and Laurens, South Carolina should be included in the Upstate. From my understanding the Upstate is any region that sits above the fall line in South Carolina. Drilltone 16:30, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Upstate or Upcountry

message: I propose that Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson, SC Combined Statistical Area be merged into Upstate South Carolina.  Upstate SC and the GSA CSA cover the exact same 10 counties.  So all the information in the CSA page can be placed in the Upstate SC page.Inkan1969 (talk) 16:51, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: There were no objections to the merger.  So I have merged the articles.Inkan1969 (talk) 05:32, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: You might mention the statistical area somewhere in the lede. Bms4880 (talk) 23:34, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: OK.  I moved the sentence that notes that the Upstate is coterminous with the CSA to the first paragraph.Inkan1969 (talk) 23:04, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Merger Proposal

message: I have tried to update the census data references. The contents behind those links seem to be created dynamically, so having the link work for me unfortunately is no guarantee that it will work for others. http://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=PEP_2014_PEPANNRES&prodType=table should give a table of 2014 population estimates. Someone else may want to double-check that it does, and that the CSA is listed in that table. Huon (talk) 11:16, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

message: It would be useful to include demographics and politics of this region of the state, given that so many jobs are being produced there.Parkwells (talk) 12:19, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Need demographics and politics

message: The OMB has issued a brand new revised delineations report.  The Spartanburg MSA now includes Union County, and the Greenwood μSA includes Abbeville County once again.  The map shown in this page needs to be updated.Inkan1969 (talk) 17:03, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
