Septic soil in Long County, GA, by the numbers
Very limited
Soil across 96% of Long County, GA rates "Very limited" in USDA's septic-absorption-field interpretation. Practically, that rules out a simple gravity system for most of the county - 96% of it sits in USDA's most-constrained bucket. Long County, GA is 400.399 square miles with a population of 20,439.
What Long County's reading doesn't cover
Long County's rating is an average across the whole county, not a promise about any one lot inside it. A local percolation test, typically $750-$1,850 (around $1,300 typical), is the only way to know what one lot in Long County will actually do.
What a system would cost here
With 96% of Long County rating "Very limited", a standard gravity system is not a safe assumption here. The engineered-system range, $10,000-$40,000 (mound or aerobic treatment), is the more realistic number to plan around, against $3,000-$8,000 for a conventional system on the rare lot that passes.
Where this sits nationally
Nationally, Long County, GA is the 535-most-constrained of 3,058 rated counties for septic soil. Within Georgia alone it ranks 15 of 159.
