Data Story
About Health in Moffat County, Colorado
Moffat County's life expectancy lags nationally
At 75.1 years, Moffat County residents live roughly 5 years less than the U.S. average of 80.3 years, a significant gap that reflects broader health challenges in rural northwestern Colorado. The county's 19% poor/fair health rate exceeds the national average of 18%, indicating residents report more chronic conditions and health struggles.
Bottom-tier health outcomes for Colorado
Moffat County's 75.1-year life expectancy ranks among the lowest in Colorado, where the state average is 78.2 years. The 19% poor/fair health rate and 10.1% uninsured rate both signal health challenges above what typical Coloradans face.
Struggling compared to neighboring counties
Moffat County's life expectancy of 75.1 years trails Rio Blanco and Routt counties, where residents live longer and report better health outcomes. With only 23 primary care providers per 100,000 residents—among the lowest in the state—Moffat residents often travel long distances for routine medical care.
Severe primary care shortage, ongoing barriers
The 23 primary care providers per 100,000 residents means many Moffat County families struggle to find local doctors, forcing travel and delayed care. With a 10.1% uninsured rate and mental health providers at 203 per 100,000, residents face both insurance gaps and limited mental health resources despite higher provider availability than some neighbors.
