Data Story
About Health in Stevens County, Kansas
Stevens matches national life span, struggles daily
Stevens County's 75.4-year life expectancy matches the U.S. average exactly, yet its 20.6% poor or fair health rate ties with Stanton's as the highest in this dataset and is more than double the national average. This disconnect reveals a population managing age but battling significant chronic disease.
Highest uninsured rate in Kansas study
Stevens' 75.4-year life expectancy equals the Kansas state average, but its 19.0% uninsured rate towers above Kansas' 11.5% average and is the highest among these eight counties. This lack of coverage directly correlates with the county's elevated poor or fair health reports.
Worst coverage crisis in the region
Stevens' 19.0% uninsured rate dramatically exceeds all regional peers; the next-highest is Stanton at 14.9%. Combined with the county's 20.6% poor or fair health rate—tied for worst—Stevens faces a convergence of coverage and health crises requiring urgent intervention.
Coverage crisis compounds access barriers
With 19.0% uninsured, roughly 1 in 5 Stevens residents lack coverage, and the county's 19 primary care providers per 100K is the region's lowest, creating a double barrier to care. The 79 mental health providers per 100K provides some behavioral health capacity, but coverage gaps likely prevent many residents from accessing services.
