| 2000 vs. 2020 Population Growth and Change Lincoln County 2000 vs. 2020 Net Percent Change = 167.34% Rank = #1 Jerauld County 2000 vs. 2020 Net Percent Change = -27.05% Rank = #66 Todd County 2000 vs. 2020 Net Percent Change = 2.78% Rank = #21 With a spotlight on Todd County, the chart above displays the distribution of the net percent change of population across South Dakota's 66 counties over the period 2000-2020. Those counties whose population growth registered above the statewide average over this period realized an increase in their statewide share of population. Likewise, those counties whose population growth registered below the statewide average experienced a decline in their relative share of population statewide. Statewide Snippets:- Over 2000-2020 population grew in twenty-three South Dakota counties while declining in forty-three.
- Population growth in seven counties outpaced the statewide average (17.46%), while growth in fifty-nine counties trailed.
- At the extremes of the distribution, Lincoln County posted the highest growth of population (167.34%), while Jerauld County placed last by logging a -27.05% decline.
- The spread in population growth between the highest (Lincoln County, 167.34%) and lowest (Jerauld County, -27.05%) over 2000-2020 equated to 194.38% ( = 167.34% − -27.05%).
- Population growth statewide is but a weighted metric that stems from each county's share of population statewide. On this point, as the largest county in South Dakota, Minnehaha County's net population growth over 2000-2020 of 48,618 made up 36.84% of the total net growth statewide (131,955):
