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.   Best, Margaret
