Data Story
About Health in Vermillion County, Indiana
Vermillion struggles with health perception gap
At 74.3 years, Vermillion County residents live 2.1 years shorter than the U.S. average of 76.4 years, but the county's 20.9% poor/fair health rate is notably higher. This combination suggests residents not only live shorter lives but experience lower quality of life and more chronic disease before death.
Worst health perception rate in Indiana
Vermillion County's 20.9% poor/fair health rate is the highest among all eight counties analyzed and well above Indiana's average, indicating serious population health challenges. At 74.3 years, life expectancy falls 0.8 years below the state average, placing Vermillion in the lower quartile statewide.
Highest disease burden among peers
Vermillion County's 20.9% poor/fair health rate dramatically exceeds nearby Warrick (13.8%) and Warren (18.0%), marking it as the most health-challenged county in the region. Even with 59 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, the county struggles with what appears to be deep-rooted chronic disease and limited health management.
Adequate providers, limited health outcomes
Vermillion County offers 59 primary care providers and 136 mental health providers per 100,000 residents, providing reasonable access relative to rural Indiana. Yet the persistently high self-reported poor/fair health suggests barriers including poverty, transportation, health literacy, or behavioral health crises that extra providers alone cannot solve.
