Data Story
About Health in Pinal County, Arizona
Pinal County leads Arizona in life expectancy
At 78.1 years, Pinal County residents live nearly as long as the U.S. average of 78.7 years, placing the county among Arizona's healthiest. With 19.6% reporting poor or fair health, Pinal matches the national average, suggesting strong underlying population health.
Highest life expectancy in Arizona
Pinal County's 78.1-year life expectancy ranks first among Arizona's 15 counties, exceeding the state average of 74.0 years by 4.1 years. This demographic advantage reflects both population composition and access to healthcare resources.
Pinal outpaces Pima and Santa Cruz
Pinal residents live longer than those in neighboring Pima County (76.5 years) and rival Santa Cruz County's 79.9-year average. However, Pinal's primary care provider density at just 18 per 100,000 is the lowest in the state, creating an access paradox.
Strong insurance coverage masks access gaps
Pinal County's 13.2% uninsured rate is below the state average, yet the county has only 18 primary care providers per 100,000—a critical shortage. With 90 mental health providers per 100,000, the county offers psychiatric support, but patients often travel for routine medical care.
