Data Story
About Health in Brantley County, Georgia
Brantley's life expectancy below U.S. average
At 71.5 years, Brantley County residents live 3 years less than the U.S. average of 74.5 years. The 22.4% poor or fair health rate reflects elevated chronic disease and health challenges typical of rural southeastern Georgia.
Georgia's least insured rural county
Brantley's 71.5-year life expectancy trails Georgia's state average of 73.3 years by 1.8 years, placing it in the lower-middle tier statewide. However, Brantley's 17.9% uninsured rate is Georgia's highest, creating a coverage crisis that compounds health vulnerabilities.
Lowest insured, lowest provider access
Brantley (71.5 years) sits between Berrien (71.2 years) and Bleckley (72.2 years) on life expectancy, yet its 17.9% uninsured rate far exceeds neighbors—nearly 50% higher than Bleckley's 12.3%. The county's sparse provider network (17 primary care, 27 mental health per 100,000) compounds access barriers.
Severe coverage and access shortfall
Brantley has Georgia's lowest provider availability (17 primary care providers per 100,000) paired with its worst uninsured rate (17.9%), creating a dual crisis for health-seeking residents. Even routine preventive care is difficult to access, leaving residents vulnerable to preventable chronic disease.
