Data Story
About Health in Concordia Parish, Louisiana
Concordia trails national health benchmarks
Concordia Parish residents live to 70.5 years—more than seven years less than the U.S. average of 77.9 years. Over one in four residents (28.2%) report poor or fair health, far above the national average of 18.5%. These disparities reflect serious, unmet health needs across the community.
Among Louisiana's lowest life expectancies
At 70.5 years, Concordia Parish ranks among Louisiana's lowest life expectancies, trailing the state average of 72.5 years by two years. Its 28.2% poor/fair health rate places Concordia in the bottom quartile statewide. Chronic disease prevention and healthcare access are critical priorities.
Facing severe regional health challenges
Concordia's 70.5-year life expectancy is the lowest in the region, well below Calcasieu (73.5 years) and Claiborne (73.8 years). Its 28.2% poor/fair health rate exceeds all neighbors except Claiborne (32.5%), marking Concordia as a regional health crisis zone. Rural isolation and limited resources compound these disparities.
Healthcare access in Concordia Parish
With 9.3% uninsured—above Louisiana's 8.1% average—coverage gaps leave many vulnerable. Concordia has only 22 primary care providers per 100K, creating severe access bottlenecks for a population facing major health challenges. Mental health providers at 622 per 100K provide some behavioral health support, but preventive care remains scarce.
