Data Story
About Health in Texas County, Missouri
Texas County lags behind national health metrics
Texas County's life expectancy of 72.6 years falls 1.9 years short of the U.S. average of 74.5 years, and 21.7% of residents report poor or fair health. This combination marks Texas County as facing notably greater health challenges than the typical American.
Among Missouri's least healthy counties
Texas County's 72.6-year life expectancy falls 1.7 years below Missouri's 74.3 average, ranking it in the lower half of state counties. The 21.7% poor/fair health rate further signals that Texas County residents face above-average health burdens.
Struggling in a challenging region
Texas County's 72.6-year life expectancy trails not only Stone County (76.0) but also Sullivan County (74.7) and Taney County (74.9). At 21.7%, the county's poor/fair health rate exceeds most neighbors, making it one of the region's most health-challenged communities.
Moderate access, significant uninsured rate
Texas County has 40 primary care providers and 39 mental health providers per 100,000 residents—moderate for the region. However, 14.0% of residents are uninsured, above Missouri's 12.5%, meaning many residents struggle to access even available providers.
Insurance matters more here
With both lower-than-average life expectancy and 14% uninsured, Texas County residents should prioritize getting coverage through the Missouri marketplace or Medicaid. Early access to primary and preventive care can help address the health challenges facing the county.
