Data Story
Power County Uninsured Rate Higher Than State Average
Health data brief for Power County, Idaho.
Power County reports an uninsured rate of 14.0%, which is higher than the Idaho state average of 11.7% and the national average of 10%. Access to care is also limited, with 25 primary care providers and 49 mental health providers per 100,000 residents, both significantly lower than the national medians of 70 and 250, respectively. Life expectancy in the county is 77.9 years, slightly above the Idaho state average of 77.5 years and the national average of 77 years. However, 20.3% of the population reports being in poor or fair health, which is above the national average of 17%. These figures suggest that while life expectancy aligns with state norms, the percentage of residents without insurance and the local provider density remain distinct from national benchmarks.
