Demographic Information about Oconee County compared to the State of Georgia
Every year the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin do a ranking of counties in the United States regarding "health". I thought occasionally I would share some of their data with our group. We rank #5 out of 159 counties on health measures. I thought I would start by just showing you some of the general demographics. A half of our county is considered rural. We have no native Hawaiians.
