Data Story
About Health in Tattnall County, Georgia
Tattnall trails national health benchmarks
At 72.5 years, Tattnall County's life expectancy falls nearly 4 years short of the U.S. average of 76.4 years. One in four residents (24.5%) report poor or fair health, signaling widespread chronic disease and health management challenges.
Below Georgia's average outcomes
Tattnall's 72.5-year life expectancy trails Georgia's 73.3-year state average. The county's 15.8% uninsured rate exceeds the state average of 15.0%, meaning more residents lack health coverage than the Georgia norm.
Severe primary care provider shortage
Tattnall has just 17 primary care providers per 100,000 residents—among the lowest in this group and well below Sumter's 51 per 100K. While mental health access is modest at 33 per 100K, the primary care gap is the more pressing constraint.
Provider scarcity meets high uninsured rates
With 15.8% of Tattnall residents uninsured and only 17 primary care providers per 100K, the county faces a dual access crisis. Residents struggle both to afford coverage and to find doctors once they secure it.
