Data Story
About Health in Sutter County, California
Sutter faces persistent health disparities
At 77.3 years, Sutter's life expectancy slightly exceeds the U.S. average of 76.1 years. However, nearly 1 in 4 residents (23%) report poor or fair health—far above the national average of 18%—signaling deeper health challenges.
High health burden across the county
Sutter's 77.3-year life expectancy falls below California's 78.5-year average, and the 23% poor/fair health rate ranks among the state's worst. This suggests underlying health risks that extend beyond life expectancy alone.
Struggling compared to adjacent counties
Sutter's 77.3-year life expectancy lags Sonoma (80.6 years) significantly, though it exceeds Stanislaus (75.4 years). The county's 23% poor/fair health rate is the highest among regional peers, indicating serious population health challenges.
Provider access below regional standards
Sutter's 8.8% uninsured rate exceeds the state average of 7.2%, and the county has only 76 primary care providers per 100,000—below regional averages. With 375 mental health providers per 100,000, behavioral care is more available than primary services, yet overall access remains constrained.
Closing the coverage gap matters here
Nearly 1 in 11 Sutter residents lack health insurance, above the state average. Reach out to Covered California or your county health department immediately to explore coverage options that fit your budget.
