About Health in Warren County, Illinois

Warren matches Illinois average

Warren County's life expectancy of 76.0 years meets Illinois's state average but trails the U.S. average of 74.5 years by 1.5 years (though this is due to Warren being slightly above the U.S. benchmark).

Warren at the state median

Middle tier among surrounding counties

Warren's 76.0-year life expectancy trails Tazewell (76.6) and Stephenson (76.2) but exceeds Union (74.7) and Vermilion (72.5). At 54 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, Warren provides moderate access, though the county faces a critical mental health provider shortage with only 25 per 100,000—far below regional peers.

Coverage gaps and mental health crisis

Warren's 7.2% uninsured rate is the second-highest in the analysis, affecting access to preventive care and routine check-ups. Most concerning is the severe shortage of mental health providers at just 25 per 100,000 residents—less than one-tenth of Vermilion's rate—leaving residents with limited behavioral health support.
