Data Story
About Health in Nassau County, Florida
Nassau County's solid health standing
At 76.4 years, Nassau County residents live about 3 years less than the U.S. average of 79.3 years. However, only 13.5% report poor or fair health—below the national 18% rate—indicating good disease management despite lower overall life expectancy.
Above-average coverage, fair outcomes
Nassau County's 76.4-year life expectancy slightly exceeds Florida's 75.8-year average, placing it in the middle tier of state rankings. With Florida's lowest uninsured rate at just 9.3%—well below the state's 14.4%—Nassau residents have strong insurance access.
Northeast Florida's insurance leader
Nassau County boasts Florida's lowest uninsured rate at 9.3%, far outpacing neighboring Duval County at 13.8%. However, its primary care provider density of 38 per 100,000 is the lowest among comparison counties, reflecting rural healthcare challenges.
Coverage without adequate providers
Nassau's exceptional insurance coverage rate masks a critical access problem: only 38 primary care providers per 100,000 residents means long waits and travel for many. With 144 mental health providers per 100,000, psychiatric care availability exceeds primary care, creating imbalanced care pathways.
Leverage Nassau's coverage advantage
Nassau County leads Florida in uninsured rates—stay ahead by reviewing your coverage annually at healthcare.gov. Consider joining a patient navigation program to connect with providers outside the county if local waits feel excessive.
