Calhoun County is a small, rural county in central South Carolina, named for statesman John C. Calhoun. Its seat is St. Matthews, and the southern edge of the county touches Lake Marion, one of the two big Santee Cooper lakes. Farming, timber and fishing have long shaped the local economy, and the county is close to both Columbia and Orangeburg.
Lake Marion is known for fried catfish, and the county's tables also feature barbecue with mustard-based sauce, collards, field peas and homemade desserts.
About 3,400 Calhoun County residents are 65 or older, roughly 1 in 4 people. The county has no hospital of its own; the nearest in our data is MUSC Health Orangeburg, and many residents also travel to Columbia. The county is a federally designated primary care shortage area, so confirm that your doctors and hospital are in a plan's network and consider how far you would need to travel for care. Plans are approved county by county, so what is offered next door in Orangeburg or Lexington County may differ.
