Data Story
About Health in Kane County, Illinois
Kane County achieves strong life expectancy
Kane County residents enjoy a life expectancy of 79.8 years, nearly 1 year above the U.S. average of 78.9 years. Just 16.0% report poor or fair health, outperforming the national average of 12%.
Top-tier health outcomes in Illinois
Kane County's 79.8-year life expectancy significantly exceeds Illinois's 76.0-year state average by nearly 4 years, ranking among the state's healthiest counties. However, the uninsured rate of 9.4% is notably higher than the state average of 6.3%.
High life expectancy, coverage concerns
Kane County matches Jo Daviess's strong 79.8-year life expectancy and trails only Kendall County (80.5 years) regionally. Despite excellent health outcomes, its 9.4% uninsured rate is the highest among peer counties, suggesting coverage access is a vulnerability.
Strong health masked by coverage gaps
Kane County's 9.4% uninsured rate—the highest in this group—suggests significant insurance access challenges despite superior health outcomes and solid provider availability (40 primary care and 394 mental health providers per 100,000). This gap signals potential hardship for uninsured households facing medical costs.
Don't go without coverage
With nearly 1 in 10 residents uninsured, Kane County residents should prioritize getting covered through marketplace plans, Medicaid, or employer options. Even with strong overall county health, the wrong medical emergency can devastate an uninsured household.
