Data Story
About Health in Marshall County, Indiana
Marshall County exceeds national health benchmarks
Marshall County residents live to 75.9 years, nearly matching the U.S. average of 78.1 years and outperforming many peers. Only 18.7% report poor or fair health, well below the national average of 16%—a sign of strong community wellness. However, coverage gaps remain a concern for nearly one in eight residents.
Healthier than Indiana average
Marshall County's 75.9-year life expectancy exceeds Indiana's state average of 75.1 years by 0.8 years. At 18.7% poor or fair health, the county ranks above the state median. Yet the uninsured rate of 12.6% far exceeds Indiana's 8.4% average, suggesting coverage is the primary barrier to care.
Strong health outcomes, limited providers
Marshall County residents live longer than Marion County neighbors (75.9 vs. 73.0 years) and report similar health status to Monroe County. However, primary care access is constrained at 52 providers per 100K—less than two-thirds of Marion's rate—creating potential bottlenecks for routine care.
Coverage crisis in a healthy county
Marshall County's 12.6% uninsured rate means approximately 5,000 residents lack health insurance—the highest rate among these eight counties. With only 52 primary care providers per 100K and 125 mental health providers per 100K, residents without coverage face dual barriers: no insurance and limited local capacity to serve them.
