Among Georgia's lowest life expectancy counties
Peach County's 71.4-year life expectancy falls nearly 2 years below Georgia's 73.3-year state average, ranking it in the bottom tier statewide. This gap signals entrenched health disparities tied to poverty and healthcare access.

Coverage gaps compound access challenges
