Georgia Livability Index — All 159 Counties Ranked

Every Georgia county, ranked by the Peach State Pulse Livability Index composite score (0–100). Component cells show the component score with the raw value in parentheses. A dash (—) means that component had no verified value for the county; it was never estimated.

Change compares each county’s current rank with its previous rank from before violent-crime rates were added to the index: ▲ means the county moved up, ▼ means it moved down, — means no change.

Methodology

This is our composite, not an official rating. It ranks Georgia counties relative to one another only: a score of 50 means a county sits at the middle of Georgia on average across the components, not that it is “average” in any absolute sense.
