About Health in Sedgwick County, Colorado
Sedgwick faces serious health crisis
Sedgwick County's life expectancy of 73.5 years falls 2.9 years short of the national average of 76.4 years, marking it as one of America's most challenging health communities. Nearly one in five residents—18.5%—report poor or fair health, substantially above the U.S. average of 13%.
Bottom tier in Colorado rankings
Sedgwick's 73.5-year life expectancy lags Colorado's state average of 78.2 years by 4.7 years, among the widest gaps in the state. With 18.5% in poor or fair health—well above Colorado's typical patterns—Sedgwick ranks among the state's most health-challenged counties.
Significant gap vs regional counties
Sedgwick's 73.5-year life expectancy contrasts starkly with nearby Yuma County (79.1 years) and Washington County (74.0 years). The county's 18.5% poor/fair health rate matches only Yuma, suggesting concentrated health challenges across Colorado's eastern plains.
Limited providers, moderate coverage
Sedgwick's 10.2% uninsured rate slightly exceeds Colorado's state average of 9.7%, leaving over 1 in 10 residents vulnerable. With just 43 primary care providers per 100,000 residents and no reported mental health provider data, access to healthcare remains stretched in this rural county.
