Data Story
About Health in Park County, Colorado
Park County's longevity ranks nationally strong
At 81.5 years, Park County residents live 1.2 years longer than the U.S. average of 80.3 years, placing the county in America's healthier demographic tiers. The 12.9% poor/fair health rate substantially beats the national average of 18%, indicating residents enjoy fewer chronic conditions and better overall wellness than typical Americans.
Top-tier Colorado health outcomes
Park County's 81.5-year life expectancy leads Colorado's state average of 78.2 by 3.3 years, ranking it among the state's healthiest counties. The 12.9% poor/fair health rate and 7.3% uninsured rate both exceed state health benchmarks, creating a strong foundation for community wellness.
Outperforming neighboring mountain counties
Park County's 81.5-year life expectancy beats Clear Creek, Summit, and Eagle counties, establishing it as a mountain region longevity leader. However, the county's 17 primary care providers per 100,000 ranks among Colorado's lowest, reflecting the rural mountain geography's challenge in recruiting physicians.
Excellent health outcomes despite provider shortage
With only 7.3% uninsured—well below Colorado's 9.7% average—nearly all Park County residents have health coverage that supports preventive care. Though the county's 17 primary care providers per 100,000 is lean by state standards, strong community health culture and relatively high incomes appear to buffer residents against common health risks.
Maintain Park County's health advantage
Park County's strong health outcomes depend on near-universal coverage; the 7.3% uninsured should explore options to complete the county's health success story. Visit Colorado.gov/PEAK or call your local health department to ensure all neighbors have coverage and access to the preventive care that keeps Park County thriving.
