Data Story
About Health in Colquitt County, Georgia
Colquitt County's Health Crisis Demands Action
Life expectancy in Colquitt stands at just 71.6 years, nearly five years below the U.S. average of 76.4 years. More than one in four residents (26.5%) report poor or fair health—the highest rate in this data set—far exceeding the national average of 18%.
Georgia's Lowest Health Rankings
Colquitt's 71.6-year life expectancy is 1.7 years below Georgia's average, while its 26.5% poor/fair health rate is among the state's worst. The county faces entrenched health inequities that require coordinated investment in prevention, access, and provider recruitment.
Hardest-Hit County in Southwest Georgia
Colquitt's 71.6-year life expectancy ties neighboring Coffee County as the lowest in this region, with both counties struggling far below state norms. Unlike neighbors with better primary care access, Colquitt's 37 providers per 100,000 residents represents one of the state's most severe provider shortages.
Uninsured & Underserved
Nearly one in five Colquitt residents (19.8%) go without health insurance, stranding thousands without access to preventive or emergency care. Though mental health providers number 91 per 100,000 (above some neighbors), the county's 37 primary care providers per 100,000 create dangerous gaps in basic medical access.
