Oregon ranks among Missouri's worst health outcomes
Oregon County's 71.1-year life expectancy places it among the lowest in Missouri, well below the state's 74.3-year average. The 23.9% poor/fair health rate—among the state's highest—reflects persistent economic distress and limited healthcare access.
Oregon struggles with provider data gaps
Primary care provider data for Oregon County is not currently available, complicating efforts to assess care access. However, mental health providers at 34 per 100,000 are available but fall short of neighboring counties like Perry (90) and Pemiscot (212), leaving residents with limited behavioral health options.
Uninsured and isolated: Oregon's healthcare reality
Oregon County's 14.5% uninsured rate significantly exceeds Missouri's 12.5% average, affecting roughly 2,600 residents without coverage.
