Data Story
About Health in Levy County, Florida
Levy County faces health headwinds
At 74.4 years, Levy County residents live nearly 4.5 years less than the U.S. average of 78.9 years. The county's 20% poor/fair health rate exceeds the national average of 17%, suggesting chronic disease and preventive care gaps.
Below-average health outcomes statewide
Levy County's 74.4-year life expectancy trails Florida's state average of 75.8 years, placing it among the lower-performing counties. With a 17% uninsured rate, the county exceeds Florida's 14.4% average, leaving more residents vulnerable to delayed or deferred care.
Provider shortages limit care options
Levy County's 11 primary care providers per 100,000 residents match Lafayette County's critically low density and far trail Lake County's 59 providers. Mental health access is also limited at 54 providers per 100,000, leaving residents with fewer options for specialized behavioral care.
Limited access drives health challenges
Levy County struggles with both insurance access and provider availability: 17% of residents are uninsured, and only 11 primary care providers per 100,000 make appointments hard to secure. This combination creates barriers to preventive care and early disease management, contributing to the county's below-average health outcomes.
