Data Story
About Health in Le Sueur County, Minnesota
Le Sueur exceeds U.S. life expectancy
Le Sueur residents live an average of 79.8 years, exceeding the U.S. average of 79.3 years. However, the poor or fair health rate of 16.6% is the highest among these eight counties, suggesting some residents face significant health challenges despite longer average lifespan.
Above-average life expectancy, mixed health indicators
At 79.8 years, Le Sueur's life expectancy ranks 1.1 years above Minnesota's state average of 78.7 years. While lifespan is strong, the 16.6% poor/fair health rate indicates health inequality within the county.
Top life expectancy, concerning health disparities
Le Sueur's 79.8-year life expectancy ties with Kandiyohi County for the highest in the region, yet its 16.6% poor/fair health rate is significantly higher than all neighbors. This suggests both longevity and substantial health challenges coexist in the county.
Excellent insurance coverage, sparse primary care access
Le Sueur has one of the lowest uninsured rates at 4.8%, well below Minnesota's 6.0% average—meaning nearly all residents have coverage. Despite this, primary care provider availability is critically low at just 14 per 100,000 residents, the scarcest in the region, though mental health providers number 58 per 100,000.
