Data Story
About Health in Camden County, Missouri
Camden ranks among Missouri's healthiest
At 76.8 years, Camden's life expectancy sits 2.2 years below the U.S. average of 79 but ranks high within Missouri. Only 18.5% report poor or fair health—below the national average of 18%—indicating relatively strong population wellness.
Strong lifespan, mixed coverage challenges
Camden's 76.8-year life expectancy exceeds Missouri's 74.3-year average by 2.5 years, ranking it in the state's healthier half. However, its 13.9% uninsured rate runs above the state average of 12.5%, suggesting coverage gaps despite overall health strength.
Top-tier life expectancy with solid providers
Camden's 76.8-year life expectancy edges Callaway (76.0 years) and Cape Girardeau (75.8 years), reflecting strong community health management. With 76 primary care providers per 100K and 211 mental health providers per 100K, Camden offers mid-tier access across the region.
Strong health outcomes mask uninsured gaps
Camden's solid life expectancy and low poor/fair health rate (18.5%) are offset by its 13.9% uninsured rate—the region's highest. This disparity suggests that some residents lack consistent preventive care access despite the county's overall good health trajectory.
Close the coverage gap today
Camden's relatively high uninsured rate means nearly 1 in 7 residents lack basic protection—even in a generally healthy county. Explore Healthcare.gov marketplace plans and subsidies to ensure you and your family don't fall through coverage cracks.
