Data Story
About Health in Roscommon County, Michigan
Below national average, above state
Roscommon County's 73.2-year life expectancy trails the U.S. average by 7.5 years but nearly matches Michigan's state average of 76.3 years. At 17.1% reporting poor or fair health, Roscommon's chronic disease burden mirrors state-level challenges.
Just below Michigan's health benchmark
At 73.2 years, Roscommon falls 3.1 years below Michigan's state average of 76.3 years, placing it in the lower quartile of Michigan counties. This gap persists despite a 6.7% uninsured rate matching regional peers.
Middle of the pack in region
Roscommon's 73.2-year life expectancy ranks fourth among eight peer counties, outpacing only Oscoda, Ontonagon, and Ogemaw. The 7-year gap between Roscommon and leading Ottawa County suggests significant room for health improvement.
Moderate provider availability improves care
Roscommon has 47 primary care providers per 100,000 residents and 117 mental health providers per 100,000, a balanced mix exceeding some neighbors. With a 6.7% uninsured rate, the county's healthcare infrastructure appears adequate, yet life expectancy suggests other barriers to health persist.
