Georgia Education Data by County

Georgia Public Health Data
Here are a couple of tips to help users access and utilize the information they'll find:
-
If a data point reads "Suppressed," this means that there were fewer than 10 cases in a jurisdiction. Because of this, the exact numbers have been hidden to protect the patients' identities.
-
Incidence and mortality rates are rates per 100,000 residents (e.g., HIV Diagnosis Rate)
-
Numbers that are expressed as percentages represent the percentage of the population living with a given health issue
-
The Pearson Correlation Coefficient shows the correlation between low literacy proficiency and a given health condition. Numbers range from -1.0 (a Perfect Negative correlation) to 1.0 (a Perfect Positive correlation). The closer the number is to -1.0 or 1.0, the higher the correlation between low literacy skills and the health condition.

Georgia Social Determinants Data
The Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) are non-medical factors that influence health outcomes, and include the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, as well as the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life (World Health Organization, 2025).
Similarly, the Social Determinants of Learning (SDOL)™ framework defines SDOLs as "social and structural factors outside the individual learner, often beyond the traditional reach of teachers and schools, that can affect learning” (Levinson & Cohen, 2023). These include healthcare access and quality, economic stability, neighborhood and built environments, social inclusion and non-discrimination, educational access and quality, and family group and structural conflicts.
In both frameworks, social determinants can be predictive or correlated to both health and educational outcomes—people without access to a vehicle may be unable to access high-quality healthcare and educational services; people living with disabilities may face structural and discrimination-related barriers to accessing equitable healthcare and education services compared to able-bodied peers.
The infographics in this section highlight over 20 different social determinants, including measures of poverty, energy burden (the percentage of one's annual income spent on energy costs), housing burden (spending 50% or more of one's annual income on housing), and the prevalence of disabilities.
Please find below some tips to help users access and utilize the information they'll find:
-
Numbers that are expressed as percentages represent the percentage of the population experiencing a given social determinant.
-
The counties highlighted generally represent the lowest and highest values of a given measure.
-
The Pearson Correlation Coefficient shows the correlation between low literacy proficiency and a given health condition. Numbers range from -1.0 (a Perfect Negative correlation) to 1.0 (a Perfect Positive correlation). The closer the number is to -1.0 or 1.0, the higher the correlation between low literacy skills and the social determinant.
