About Health in Marshall County, Illinois
Marshall matches national life expectancy
At 76.3 years, Marshall County residents live slightly below the U.S. average of 78.3 years. The county's 18.9% poor or fair health rate sits just above the national average of 18%, indicating relatively typical health outcomes.
Healthy life expectancy, at or above state
Marshall County's 76.3-year life expectancy slightly exceeds the Illinois average of 76.0 years, placing it among healthier state counties. With a 5.7% uninsured rate, the county beats the state average of 6.3%, showing strong coverage.
Severe primary care provider shortage
Marshall County's 17 primary care providers per 100,000 residents represent one of the lowest densities in its peer group—less than half of neighboring Madison County's 48. The county's 17 mental health providers per 100,000 is similarly sparse, suggesting significant barriers to specialized care.
Good coverage, limited provider access
Marshall County's 5.7% uninsured rate is among Illinois's best, but only 17 primary care providers per 100,000 means long wait times and travel are common. This provider shortage likely explains the county's 18.9% poor/fair health rate despite solid insurance coverage.
Ensure your coverage is solid
While Marshall County boasts strong insurance rates, 5.7% of residents remain uninsured—roughly 500 people. With limited local providers, having comprehensive coverage is essential; verify your plan at Healthcare.gov or contact your employer.
