Data Story
About Health in Montgomery County, Georgia
Montgomery's life expectancy trails national average
At 71.4 years, Montgomery County residents live 5 years below the U.S. average of 76.4 years. One in four residents report poor or fair health at 25.3%, placing Montgomery among the county cohort's most challenged in terms of population health.
Below Georgia average despite reasonable coverage
Montgomery's 71.4-year life expectancy lags Georgia's 73.3-year average by 1.9 years, signaling health challenges persist despite coverage efforts. The county's 14.2% uninsured rate is slightly below the state average of 15.0%, suggesting that access to care alone doesn't explain Montgomery's health outcomes gap.
Moderate health outcomes, limited provider data
Montgomery's 71.4-year life expectancy falls in the lower-middle range of this region, ahead of Meriwether (70.8 years) and Miller (67.3 years) but well behind Monroe (74.5 years) and Morgan (75.8 years). Primary care provider data is unavailable, making full assessment difficult, though 69 mental health providers per 100K suggests behavioral health capacity exists.
Coverage gaps in primary care access remain
Montgomery's 14.2% uninsured rate is reasonable, but primary care provider data is not available—limiting visibility into whether residents can actually access doctors. With 69 mental health providers per 100K and 25.3% reporting poor health, the county likely faces untreated chronic disease and behavioral health challenges.
Secure coverage and prioritize preventive care
Montgomery residents should enroll in health coverage through healthcare.gov or Medicaid to ensure access to routine care and early disease detection. With 14.2% still uninsured and 25.3% reporting poor health, getting covered is essential to breaking the cycle of late-stage treatment.
