About Health in Screven County, Georgia
Screven County significantly trails nation
Screven County's 70.9-year life expectancy falls 6.1 years below the U.S. average of 77 years, indicating serious population health challenges. Nearly a quarter of residents (24.2%) report poor or fair health, well above the 17% national rate.
Among Georgia's lowest performers
At 70.9 years, Screven County ranks below Georgia's state average life expectancy of 73.3 years, placing it among the state's most vulnerable communities. Its 24.2% poor/fair health rate significantly exceeds the state trend.
Struggling alongside regional peers
Screven County's 70.9-year life expectancy matches or trails nearby Stewart County (71.0 years) and Richmond County (71.4 years), forming a cluster of health-challenged counties. Only Rockdale County (75.7 years) breaks the pattern in the region.
Coverage gaps and provider shortage
Screven County's 14.7% uninsured rate sits just below Georgia's state average, but far more pressing is the severe shortage of primary care providers at just 14 per 100K residents. With only 35 mental health providers per 100K, residents struggle to access critical care.
