Lowest life expectancy in Kansas
Greenwood County's 73.5-year life expectancy is the lowest among all Kansas counties studied, falling 1.9 years below the state average of 75.4 years. This gap suggests systemic health challenges in the county that require targeted interventions.
Significant health disadvantage in the region
Greenwood County's 73.5-year life expectancy trails all nearby counties, including Harper (74.8), Hamilton (74.4), and Grant (77.8), by as much as 4.3 years. With only 34 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, Greenwood's provider capacity also lags several neighboring counties.
