Data Story
About Health in Bibb County, Alabama
Bibb life expectancy slightly below national average
At 73.0 years, Bibb residents live 0.4 years less than the U.S. average of 73.4 years, though the difference is modest. However, 25.1% of adults report poor or fair health—well above the national norm—indicating significant chronic disease or unmet healthcare needs in the county.
Slightly above state average but health concerns remain
Bibb's 73.0-year life expectancy edges past Alabama's 72.1 state average, but the 25.1% poor/fair health rate suggests unmet preventive and chronic care needs. At 10.8% uninsured, Bibb tracks below the state average of 11.1%, meaning insurance access is relatively stable for most residents.
Mixed performance on providers and outcomes
Bibb's 73.0-year life expectancy compares fairly to neighboring Greene and Sumter counties, though health perceptions lag county norms. With 67 primary care providers per 100K and 37 mental health providers per 100K, Bibb has reasonable access to routine care but fewer specialists than wealthier neighbor counties.
Accessible primary care, fewer mental health options
Bibb residents benefit from 67 primary care providers per 100K—above state averages—making routine doctor visits relatively accessible for the 89.2% with insurance coverage. Mental health providers at 37 per 100K are adequate but lagging demand, particularly for low-income residents managing multiple chronic conditions.
Strengthen your family's health security
Bibb's 10.8% uninsured rate means roughly 2,200 residents lack coverage and may defer necessary care due to cost. Visit Healthcare.gov or Alabama Medicaid to explore enrollment options; getting covered is the first step to managing chronic disease and preventing health crises.
