What the data shows in Georgia

Across Georgia's 159 counties, 31 have two or more of the four health-risk areas (environmental, disease, provider access, and social conditions) above the national threshold at the same time, and 1 county cross it on all four. These are the places where several pressures land together rather than one at a time.

Statewide, the health-risk area scoring highest on average is gaps in provider access, the leading driver of community health need in Georgia.

The most widespread specific risk pattern is Heat Vulnerability, triggered in 94 counties, followed by Heat-Dialysis Vulnerability in 91 counties.

Miller County carries the highest overall need in the state, with an opportunity score of 83 out of 100 (high). Higher scores mean more burden relative to the rest of the country.
