Data Story
About Health in Grundy County, Missouri
Grundy tracks U.S. life expectancy
Grundy County residents live an average of 74.1 years, 2.0 years below the U.S. average of 76.1 years. About 20.8% report poor or fair health, slightly above the national average of 17.8%.
Modestly below Missouri average
Grundy's 74.1-year life expectancy falls 0.2 years short of Missouri's state average of 74.3 years. The county's 14.9% uninsured rate ranks among the state's highest, exceeding Missouri's 12.5% average by 2.4 points.
Mid-tier health with insurance gaps
Grundy's 74.1-year life expectancy places it in the middle of the eight-county region, between Gasconade and Gentry. Its 14.9% uninsured rate is second only to Gentry's 15.1%, pointing to coverage as a regional barrier.
Sparse primary care, robust mental health
Grundy has only 21 primary care providers per 100,000 residents and a high 14.9% uninsured rate, making routine care difficult to access. Mental health providers are plentiful at 275 per 100K, suggesting specialized support outpaces general medicine.
Insurance unlocks primary care access
With 14.9% of Grundy County uninsured—the second-highest rate in the region—Healthcare.gov and Missouri Medicaid are critical resources. Coverage becomes essential given the scarcity of primary care providers (just 21 per 100K).
