About Health in Cheyenne County, Colorado

Cheyenne faces longevity gap

At 73.8 years, Cheyenne County residents live nearly 5 years less than the U.S. average of 78.3 years. With 14.6% reporting poor or fair health, the county faces steeper health challenges than most of the nation.

Well below Colorado health standards

Cheyenne County's 73.8-year life expectancy trails Colorado's state average of 78.2 years by more than 4 years, marking one of the state's lowest outcomes. The health disparity signals pressing need for targeted interventions.

Isolation compounds health challenges

Cheyenne's 73.8-year life expectancy falls far short of Custer County (79.2 years) and even distant Clear Creek County (83.6 years). Rural location and limited health data make it harder to assess provider availability and plan care.

Coverage good, data shows gaps

Cheyenne's 9.0% uninsured rate is slightly better than Colorado's 9.7%, yet provider data remains unavailable, limiting visibility into care access. Rural counties often struggle to attract health providers despite good insurance coverage.
