Data Story
About Health in Rawlins County, Kansas
Rawlins edges ahead on longevity
Rawlins County residents live to 77.5 years, 2.1 years longer than the U.S. average of 75.4 years. Yet 16.7% report poor or fair health, suggesting chronic conditions persist despite longer lifespans.
Above-state-average life expectancy
Rawlins County's 77.5-year life expectancy outpaces Kansas's state average of 75.4 years by over 2 years, and its 10.5% uninsured rate falls below the state average of 11.5%. Health coverage is better than typical for rural Kansas.
Provider access remains limited
Rawlins County has 39 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, well below most neighbors and insufficient for rural adequacy. Mental health provider data is unavailable, though local availability is likely sparse in this remote county.
One in ten residents uninsured
At 10.5% uninsured, Rawlins County residents fare slightly better than state average on coverage. The shortage of local primary care providers means even insured residents often travel significant distances for routine checkups or preventive care.
Secure coverage for remote healthcare needs
Rawlins County residents can explore marketplace plans at healthcare.gov or apply for Kansas Medicaid to ensure coverage for travel to distant care centers. Having insurance in place makes out-of-county visits more affordable.
