Four maps show distribution across South Dakota of the average from 1997 through 2016 of All Women Count! program participants, population, median income, and percentage of population with annual incomes at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. Table 1 gives average counts for each county.

Figure 2.
County clusters (groups of counties with similar sociodemographic characteristics [population, percentage of population with annual incomes at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level, median income] and AWC! participation) and the 20-year (1997–2016) average annual number of participants in the All Women Count! (AWC!) program in those counties. Red stars indicate that a clinic in that county participated in the AWC! program.
