Data Story
About Health in Kiowa County, Colorado
Kiowa's health crisis lacks full visibility
Kiowa County's life expectancy isn't publicly available, but its 19.7% poor/fair health rate ties Jackson County as the worst in this analysis—more than double the national average. This suggests serious underlying health challenges in Colorado's eastern plains.
Worst reported health outcomes in Colorado
Kiowa's 19.7% poor/fair health rate is among Colorado's most troubling, nearly double the state's healthiest counties. Though life expectancy data is unavailable, this self-reported health crisis indicates Kiowa faces acute wellness and access disparities.
Plains county struggling alongside Jackson
Kiowa's 19.7% poor/fair health rate matches Jackson County's crisis level, significantly exceeding even Huerfano (18.9%). Both eastern counties face worse outcomes than all mountain peers, suggesting geographic and economic factors compound health challenges in Colorado's plains.
Limited primary care, small mental health footprint
Kiowa lacks available primary care provider data, a sign of its sparse rural healthcare infrastructure, and has just 72 mental health providers per 100,000 residents. At 6.6% uninsured, the rate is reasonable, suggesting insurance alone isn't solving Kiowa's health access crisis.
Kiowa families need action and advocacy
Kiowa's 19.7% poor/fair health rate demands urgent response from residents and policymakers alike. Ensure your family has coverage via healthcare.gov or Medicaid, and advocate for expanded telehealth and community health center resources in eastern Colorado.
