Data Story
About Health in Talbot County, Georgia
Talbot slightly ahead on life expectancy
At 73.4 years, Talbot County exceeds the U.S. average of 76.4 years by a narrower margin than many rural Georgia counties. Still, one in four residents (25.5%) report poor or fair health, indicating underlying health vulnerabilities.
Matches Georgia's health trajectory
Talbot's 73.4-year life expectancy edges slightly above Georgia's 73.3-year average. The county's 14.2% uninsured rate is marginally better than the state's 15.0%, showing relatively stable health insurance coverage.
Mental health access severely limited
Talbot offers just 18 mental health providers per 100,000 residents—far below Sumter County's 291 per 100K. With only 35 primary care providers per 100K, Talbot residents face notable gaps in both mental and physical healthcare access.
Provider shortages shape healthcare reality
Talbot's 14.2% uninsured rate means roughly one in seven residents lacks health coverage. The scarcity of mental health providers (18 per 100K) is particularly acute, making it difficult for those insured to access behavioral health services.
Don't navigate coverage gaps alone
Talbot County residents seeking health insurance should visit healthcare.gov or call 1-800-318-2596 for enrollment support. Community health centers and Georgia's Medicaid program may offer affordable options for mental and primary care.
