Data Story
About Health in Trinity County, California
Trinity's life expectancy near national average
At 77 years, Trinity residents live just below the U.S. average of 76.1 years. The 19.5% poor/fair health rate slightly exceeds the national average of 18%, suggesting moderate but manageable health challenges.
Below California's health performance
Trinity's 77-year life expectancy falls below California's 78.5-year average by 1.5 years, and the 19.5% poor/fair health rate exceeds state trends. The county performs below state norms across key health indicators.
Lower health outcomes than regional peers
Trinity's 77-year life expectancy trails Sonoma (80.6 years) and Tuolumne (76.4 years), though it exceeds Stanislaus (75.4 years). The county stands out negatively for primary care access at just 19 providers per 100,000—far below all regional peers.
Extreme primary care provider shortage
Trinity's 6% uninsured rate is among the lowest in the state, but this masks a critical problem: only 19 primary care providers per 100,000 residents make up the region's most severe shortage. Mental health services at 332 providers per 100,000 are relatively stronger, but primary care barriers limit overall health access.
Coverage is just the first step here
Trinity's excellent 6% uninsured rate means most residents have insurance, yet extreme provider shortages limit care access. Verify your coverage through Covered California, then work with your county health department to locate available primary care or explore telehealth options.
