Data Story
About Health in Clark County, Indiana
Clark County faces significant health gap
At 73.2 years, Clark County's life expectancy lags the US average by nearly 6 years, positioning it among the lower-performing counties nationally. Only 19% of residents report poor or fair health, which is below the national average of 18%, suggesting acute health challenges beyond self-reported health status.
Lower life expectancy than Indiana average
Clark County's 73.2-year life expectancy falls 1.9 years short of Indiana's 75.1-year state average, placing it among the state's lower-ranked counties. The county's 19% poor/fair health rate is better than the state average, yet the life expectancy gap indicates deeper structural health issues.
Trailing nearby counties significantly
Clark County's 73.2-year life expectancy trails Dearborn County (76.2 years) and Decatur County (74.0 years) by over a year. Primary care provider density at 38 per 100,000 is lower than Clay County's 49 and Dearborn's 45 per 100,000.
Below-average uninsured but access concerns
Clark County's 7.4% uninsured rate is better than Indiana's state average of 8.4%, yet primary care provider availability at just 38 per 100,000 residents is a bottleneck. With 257 mental health providers per 100,000, the county has strong behavioral health capacity.
