About Health in Marshall County, Minnesota
Marshall County ranks among America's healthiest
Marshall County leads these eight counties with a life expectancy of 81.4 years—4 years longer than the U.S. average of 77.4 years. Only 15.3% of residents report poor or fair health, well below the national 17.1%, reflecting exceptional population health outcomes.
Top performer within Minnesota
Marshall County's 81.4-year life expectancy significantly exceeds Minnesota's 78.7-year average by 2.7 years and is the highest among all eight analyzed counties. The 15.3% poor/fair health rate also beats Minnesota's 16.2% state average, confirming Marshall's status as one of the state's healthiest counties.
Superior longevity, constrained provider network
While Marshall County's residents enjoy the longest lifespans in this group, the county has only 11 primary care providers per 100,000 residents—the lowest among all eight counties. Mental health provider data is unavailable, suggesting Marshall's strong health outcomes emerge despite significant primary care scarcity.
Adequate coverage masks access challenges
Marshall County's uninsured rate of 6.6% is slightly above Minnesota's 6.0% average, but the real challenge is the severe shortage of primary care providers at 11 per 100,000. Residents have insurance but may face long wait times or travel distances to access care from the sparse provider network.
