The southern counties were relatively less developed during 2002 to 2004. In 2002, there was only one county with a normal development level and there were two (Jixi and Jingyuan) that were at the 'undeveloped' level. This situation for the Southern Province worsened in 2003: four counties (Jixi, Jingyuan, Haiyuan and Pengyang) were at the 'undeveloped' level. In 2004, Pengyang County upgraded to 'underdeveloped'; however, the other three counties were still undeveloped.
