Data Story
About Health in Evans County, Georgia
Evans County trails U.S. health
At 70.7 years, Evans County's life expectancy lags the U.S. average of 75.5 years by nearly 5 years, placing residents at substantial health disadvantage. The 27.1% poor or fair health rate—the highest among these eight counties—signals crisis-level chronic disease prevalence.
Bottom-tier Georgia health rankings
Evans County's 70.7-year life expectancy ranks 2.6 years below Georgia's state average of 73.3 years, placing it among the state's most distressed health markets. The 27.1% poor health rate represents one of Georgia's worst county benchmarks.
Regional health crisis
Evans County's 70.7-year life expectancy mirrors Early County (69.7 years) and Emanuel County (70.1 years)—a cluster of struggling southeastern Georgia counties. At 27.1% poor health, Evans leads the region in disease burden and marks a public health emergency.
Limited mental health capacity worsens crisis
Evans County's 17.8% uninsured rate compounds health access barriers, while critical shortages in mental health providers (19 per 100K—lowest among these eight counties) leave residents without behavioral support. The 38 primary care providers per 100K also strain to meet the county's disease burden.
Urgent: Get insured now
Evans County faces a health emergency requiring immediate action: 17.8% uninsured residents must enroll in coverage through Georgia's marketplace or Medicaid today. Insurance unlocks access to the primary and mental health care desperately needed to address the county's crisis-level health outcomes.
