Slight gap from California average

Limited primary care in small county
Mariposa's 23 primary care providers per 100,000 residents rank among the lowest in the region, only exceeding Lassen's 27. Mental health resources at 337 per 100,000 are moderate but constrained by the county's small population size.
Below-average uninsured rate masks access gaps
