Data Story
About Health in Clinton County, Indiana
Clinton County lags US life expectancy
At 74.4 years, Clinton County residents live approximately 4.6 years less than the US average of 79 years. With 18.9% reporting poor or fair health—just below the national average of 18%—the county shows room for improvement across health metrics.
Slightly below Indiana state average
Clinton County's 74.4-year life expectancy falls 0.7 years short of Indiana's 75.1-year state average, placing it in the lower half of the state. The county's 18.9% poor/fair health rate is better than the state average, yet life expectancy trends suggest chronic disease burden.
Significant primary care access gap
Clinton County's life expectancy of 74.4 years is comparable to Cass County (74.9 years) but trails Clay County (75.0 years) by a modest margin. The county faces a critical access gap with only 15 primary care providers per 100,000 residents—less than one-third the rate of neighboring Clay County's 49.
Higher uninsured rate, severe provider shortage
Clinton County's 9.9% uninsured rate is the highest among its neighbors and exceeds Indiana's 8.4%, leaving roughly 1 in 10 residents without coverage. The acute shortage of primary care providers at just 15 per 100,000 creates a healthcare access crisis, compounded by mental health gaps.
