2013 County by County Power Ratings. Partner Up! For Public Health. April 3, 2013.
The stated purpose of this ranking is to relate economic and physical health.
The health rankings is based upon a University of Wisconsin program that ranks most of the counties in the United States according to premature death, percentage of population reporting being in poor or fair health, the number of work days missed for poor mental or physical health, and low birth-weight babies.
The economic rating is based upon average per capita income, the local unemployment rate, and the local poverty rate.
Oconee County near Athens was #1 with Crisp and Wilcox Counties at the bottom. A map is included.
