It might not make you a millionaire, but you can find the answer to almost any question about Georgia in the latest Georgia County Guide.
Data in the guide is arranged by subject with county-level and state statistics on agriculture, crime, economics, education, government, health, housing, labor, natural resources, occupations, population, public assistance, religion, transportation, veterans and vital statistics. The guide includes handy information on education (Cobb County students received the most HOPE scholarship awards, $17,529,620; the Chickamauga city school system in Walker County had the highest high school graduation rate, 91.9 percent).
And there is information you never know when you’ll need: There were more deer-related accidents on Henry County roads than in any other county--346; military veterans showed the greatest increase in Union County from 1990 to 1999--20.9 percent; and the Catoosa County marriage rate was highest--52.1 per 1,000 population.
