Data Story
About Health in Harrison County, Indiana
Harrison struggles against national norms
Harrison County residents live to 73.7 years, falling 5.2 years short of the U.S. average of 78.9 years. One in six report poor or fair health (17.1%), indicating significant chronic disease burden and limited preventive care uptake.
Below-average health rank within Indiana
At 73.7 years, Harrison County's life expectancy trails Indiana's 75.1-year state average, placing it in the lower half of counties. The 17.1% poor/fair health rate exceeds state norms, though it's better than the worst performers like Grant.
Mid-range performer in regional comparison
Harrison's 73.7 years matches Fulton County but falls well short of Hancock's 77.2 and Hamilton's 80.7, showing the range of outcomes in south-central Indiana. The county's 48 primary care and 50 mental health providers per 100,000 are adequate but modest compared to higher-performing neighbors.
Moderate uninsured rate masks access barriers
Harrison's 6.8% uninsured rate is close to the state average of 8.4%, but limited mental health providers (50 per 100,000) may delay treatment of depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Primary care availability at 48 per 100,000 is workable but leaves little margin for demand surges.
