Data Story
About Health in Sabine Parish, Louisiana
Sabine's life expectancy trails the nation
Sabine Parish residents live an average of 72.0 years, about 4.4 years less than the U.S. average of 76.4 years. The parish has 24.5% of adults reporting poor or fair health, notably lower than some peers but still 36% higher than the national average. This gap suggests systemic health challenges despite better-than-average self-reported wellness.
Middle-of-pack performer for Louisiana
Sabine's 72.0-year life expectancy sits slightly below Louisiana's state average of 72.5 years, placing it in the middle range of parish health rankings. While Sabine outperforms the state's worst-hit parishes, it still lags healthier Louisiana communities.
Better than northeast, worse than south
Sabine's 72.0 years surpasses the northeast corridor of Red River (71.6), Richland (71.5), and St. Helena (70.0) parishes, yet falls short of southern neighbors like St. Charles Parish (75.3 years). This geographic health gradient reflects underlying economic and infrastructure disparities across Louisiana.
High uninsured rate, sparse providers
Sabine Parish faces one of Louisiana's highest uninsured rates at 10.0%—nearly 1 in 10 residents without coverage—while having only 14 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, among the state's lowest. Mental health support is equally thin at 123 providers per 100,000, leaving residents to travel or go without care.
