Data Story
About Health in Stafford County, Kansas
Stafford's health outcomes lag substantially
At 74.2 years, Stafford County's life expectancy trails the U.S. average of 76.4 years by roughly 2 years. With a 17.5% poor or fair health rate—well above the national average—Stafford residents experience widespread daily health challenges.
Below-average across health and coverage
Stafford's 74.2-year life expectancy falls 1.2 years below Kansas' 75.4-year average, and its 13.1% uninsured rate exceeds the state's 11.5%. The county ranks in the lower tier of Kansas health outcomes on both fronts.
Struggling among struggling counties
Stafford's 74.2-year life expectancy is second-worst in this regional peer group, ahead only of Sumner (74.0) and far behind Smith (79.0). With just 25 primary care providers per 100K, Stafford residents face access barriers similar to Sherman and Stanton, limiting preventive care options.
Double hit: few providers, more uninsured
Stafford's 25 primary care providers per 100,000 residents represents a severe shortage for a rural county, and the 13.1% uninsured rate means coverage barriers compound access problems. With 51 mental health providers per 100K, the county at least offers behavioral health services, but geographic or financial barriers may prevent utilization.
