Data Story
About Health in Missaukee County, Michigan
Missaukee slightly outlives the nation
At 76.7 years, Missaukee County's life expectancy edges above the U.S. average of 76.4 years, a modest but meaningful advantage. However, 17.9% of residents report poor or fair health, slightly below the national average of 18%, suggesting overall health outcomes are comparable to most American counties.
Above state average, but room to gain
Missaukee's 76.7-year life expectancy outpaces Michigan's 76.3-year state average by four months. The county's 8.1% uninsured rate, however, runs higher than Michigan's 6.4% average, indicating more residents lack insurance coverage than typical for the state.
Healthier than nearby Montmorency
Missaukee residents live 3.1 years longer than those in neighboring Montmorency County (73.6 years), a substantial gap. With 20 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, Missaukee lags behind most comparable Michigan counties, which average around 50 per 100,000.
Primary care access is a challenge
Only 20 primary care providers per 100,000 residents means many Missaukee residents must travel for routine care or wait longer for appointments. The 8.1% uninsured rate means about 1 in 12 people lack coverage, leaving them vulnerable to unexpected medical costs.
