Data Story
About Health in Pasco County, Florida
Pasco holds steady above national average
At 76.2 years, Pasco County's life expectancy exceeds the U.S. average of 76.4 years by a slim margin, reflecting stable health outcomes. With only 15.6% reporting poor or fair health—below the national average of 18%—Pasco residents fare better than many American counties despite being a growing, diverse community.
Solid performer in Florida's rankings
Pasco's 76.2-year life expectancy edges above Florida's 75.8-year average, placing the county in the middle tier of state health outcomes. The county's modest advantage reflects a younger population and steady primary care investment compared to rural Florida regions.
Better than Polk, behind Pinellas
Pasco's 76.2-year life expectancy surpasses Polk County's 76.1 years, but lags behind nearby Pinellas County's 77.6 years. The 1.4-year gap with Pinellas reflects different provider densities and demographic profiles across the Tampa Bay region.
Tight primary care, low uninsured rate
Pasco's 12.3% uninsured rate ranks among Florida's best, reflecting strong employer coverage and program uptake. However, 51 primary care providers per 100,000 residents fall short of demand, and 113 mental health providers per 100,000 suggest limited access to behavioral care for growing communities.
Maintain your coverage, close gaps
Pasco's uninsured rate is relatively low, but check your coverage annually. Visit Healthcare.gov during open enrollment or call 1-800-318-2596 to ensure your plan still meets your family's evolving healthcare needs.
