Data Story
About Health in Aleutians East Borough, Alaska
Health snapshot limited by data gaps
While national life expectancy stands at 76.1 years, Aleutians East's data remains incomplete, making direct comparison impossible at this time. What we do know: nearly 1 in 5 residents (19.8%) report poor or fair health—above the national average of 17.5%—signaling underlying health challenges in this remote community.
Higher health burden than Alaska average
Aleutians East's 19.8% poor/fair health rate exceeds Alaska's 18.2% average, placing it among the state's struggling health regions. The uninsured rate of 19.6% also outpaces the state average of 15.9%, leaving more residents vulnerable to healthcare gaps.
Mental health access stands out
With 87 mental health providers per 100,000 residents, Aleutians East falls below Alaska's regional mental health capacity but matches smaller boroughs' baseline. Isolation and geographic remoteness compound healthcare access challenges across this sparsely populated region.
Nearly 1 in 5 lack health coverage
The 19.6% uninsured rate means roughly 1 in 5 people defer care, skip medications, or face medical bills they can't pay. Limited primary care provider data reflects the real barrier: finding consistent, nearby healthcare in Alaska's remote settlements requires planning and travel.
