Data Story
About Health in Hinsdale County, Colorado
Hinsdale health data shows limited visibility
Hinsdale County's life expectancy data isn't publicly available, making national comparison difficult—a common challenge for very small, rural counties. The 11.5% poor/fair health rate suggests general wellness similar to Colorado's healthier counties, though more recent data would clarify the picture.
Small county, outsized uninsured challenge
While Hinsdale's life expectancy isn't reported, its 11.5% poor/fair health rate compares favorably to state health trends. However, 13.7% of residents lack health insurance—well above Colorado's 9.7% state average—suggesting coverage gaps in this isolated mountain community.
Mountain community with coverage gaps
Hinsdale's 13.7% uninsured rate exceeds nearby Grand County (10.3%) and Gunnison (6.9%), indicating the smallest mountain county struggles most with insurance access. Its 11.5% poor/fair health rate falls between healthier neighbors and more vulnerable counties like Huerfano.
Mental health strength, provider data limited
Hinsdale has 261 mental health providers per 100,000 residents—robust support for behavioral health—but primary care provider data isn't available, reflecting the county's tiny population. The 13.7% uninsured rate is the county's most pressing healthcare challenge.
