Hall ranks 13th of 159 counties in Georgia in overall health outcomes, according to rankings released Wednesday, March 14, by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin’s Population Health Institute. But its child poverty rate of 20 percent, while lower than the state average of 23 percent, is higher than the best-performing counties in the nation, which have an average rate of just 12 percent.
