    Worth County, Georgia is a rural county located in the southwestern part of the state. The geography is characterized by gently rolling hills and a warm, humid subtropical climate. The population is around 20,000, with a median age of 38 and a diverse mix of races and ethnicities. The economy is primarily agricultural, with peanuts, cotton, and livestock as major industries. The cost of living is relatively low, with affordable housing options, but the job market can be limited. The public school system provides K-12 education, while higher education options are limited to a few community colleges in the region. Healthcare facilities include a small regional hospital, but more specialized care may require travel to larger cities. Cultural attractions are sparse, but the area offers ample outdoor recreation opportunities, including hunting, fishing, and hiking in the nearby wildlife management areas. Transportation infrastructure is adequate, with a network of state highways, but public transit options are limited. Crime rates are generally low, contributing to a safe, tight-knit community vibe, though economic challenges and limited amenities may not appeal to all potential residents.
