Data Story
About Health in Stanton County, Kansas
Stanton lives longer but feels sicker
Stanton County's 78.9-year life expectancy exceeds the U.S. average of 76.4 years by nearly 2.5 years, yet its 20.8% poor or fair health rate is the worst among all eight counties and more than double the national average. This paradox suggests Stanton's population ages well but experiences significant chronic disease and quality-of-life challenges.
Long lives, heavy health burdens
At 78.9 years, Stanton edges out Kansas' 75.4-year average, but its 20.8% poor or fair health rate ranks as among the state's highest. With 14.9% uninsured—the second-highest in this dataset—Stanton residents lack both coverage and likely adequate chronic disease management.
Longevity without health satisfaction
Stanton's 78.9-year life expectancy is second only to Smith's 79.0 years, yet its 20.8% poor or fair health rate is the region's worst—a striking contrast. Limited provider data makes detailed access assessment difficult, but the combination of high uninsured rates and poor health self-assessment suggests systemic barriers to quality care.
Data gaps obscure critical access issues
Stanton County lacks reported primary care and mental health provider data, making direct assessment of healthcare infrastructure impossible. With 14.9% uninsured—the second-highest rate in this group—and 20.8% reporting poor or fair health, coverage and access gaps clearly exist but are not fully quantified.
Seek coverage and health assessment now
Stanton's high uninsured rate and health distress signal urgent need for action. Visit Healthcare.gov or contact a community health center immediately to explore coverage, get chronic disease screening, and connect with available providers.
