Data Story
About Health in Clinton County, Iowa
Life expectancy below national average
Clinton County residents live an average of 75.9 years, about 2.4 years below the U.S. average of 78.3 years. The county's 16.5% poor or fair health rate exceeds the national average of 15%, indicating elevated health challenges.
Below-average outcomes for Iowa
At 75.9 years, Clinton County's life expectancy trails Iowa's 77.7-year state average by 1.8 years, placing it among the state's lower-performing counties. This gap suggests systemic challenges in chronic disease management and healthcare access.
Limited primary care, moderate mental health
Clinton offers just 47 primary care providers per 100,000 residents and 186 mental health providers per 100K—fewer primary care options than nearby counties. This imbalance means residents have better mental health support than routine preventive care access.
Uninsured rate below state average
Clinton's 4.8% uninsured rate is the second-lowest in the region and below Iowa's 5.7% average, meaning good insurance coverage for most. However, limited primary care providers mean insurance alone doesn't solve access issues—residents often travel for routine doctor visits.
Insurance is your first step
Clinton residents without coverage should enroll through Healthcare.gov or Iowa Medicaid to join the majority with access to care. Once insured, you can work with your plan to identify primary care providers, potentially outside the county if needed.
