Data Story
About Health in Calhoun County, Florida
Calhoun County's urgent health crisis
At 72.7 years, Calhoun County residents live over 3 years shorter than the U.S. average of 76.1 years. With 22.3% reporting poor or fair health—among the nation's worst rates—Calhoun faces a severe, systemic health emergency requiring immediate intervention and investment.
Florida's lowest life expectancy
Calhoun's 72.7-year life expectancy ranks dead last among Florida counties, trailing the state average of 75.8 years by 3.1 years. The 22.3% poor/fair health rate signals widespread chronic disease, limited care access, and economic hardship across this rural community.
The region's darkest health picture
Calhoun's 72.7-year life expectancy significantly trails all peers in this analysis, with only 29 primary care providers per 100,000—fewer than Bradford County's 14 per capita but in absolute terms, leaving the county with virtually no local care infrastructure. With 111 mental health providers per 100,000, Calhoun residents battle isolation, poverty, and despair with minimal professional support.
Uninsured and forgotten
At 15.3% uninsured, Calhoun exceeds the state average, while its sparse 29 primary care providers per 100,000 serve a population with limited mobility and means. This double burden—lack of coverage and lack of providers—traps residents in a cycle of untreated illness, emergency care, and early death.
