Data Story
About Health in Pulaski County, Georgia
Strong life expectancy masks health challenges
Pulaski County's 75.2-year life expectancy exceeds the U.S. average of 76.4 years by nearly a year, suggesting longer-living residents. Yet 23.3% report poor or fair health—well above the 16.8% national average—revealing a disconnect between longevity and actual health perception.
Live longer but feel less healthy
At 75.2 years, Pulaski County leads Georgia's 73.3-year average, ranking among the state's highest life expectancies. Paradoxically, the 23.3% poor/fair health rate is the worst in this county group, suggesting older age or chronic disease burden despite longer lifespans.
Longest life, hardest health
Pulaski County's 75.2-year life expectancy bests all neighbors including Putnam (74.0) and Rabun (74.3), yet its 23.3% poor health rate exceeds theirs. This unusual pattern may reflect an aging population living longer with chronic conditions rather than enjoying robust health.
Excellent primary care, limited mental health
Pulaski County offers 61 primary care providers per 100K—among the highest in the region—but only 30 mental health providers per 100K. With 16.0% uninsured, slightly above Georgia's 15.0%, the county's strong primary care infrastructure is a bright spot.
Leverage strong primary care access
Pulaski County's robust primary care network is an asset for managing chronic diseases and preventive health. If you're among the 16% uninsured, pair that access with coverage by exploring healthcare.gov options or county health services.
