Data Story
About Health in Granite County, Montana
Life expectancy exceeds state average
At 80.0 years, Granite County residents live longer than the Montana state average of 76.3 years and well above the national average of 78.9 years. Just 17.1% report poor or fair health, tracking well below the national average of 21%.
Among Montana's healthiest counties
Granite County's 80-year life expectancy ranks second-best in this eight-county sample, and its 17.1% poor/fair health rate is among the lowest. The 14.1% uninsured rate is slightly above the state average, a minor gap in otherwise strong health outcomes.
Longevity rival to top performers
Only Judith Basin County (82.0 years) edges out Granite's 80-year life expectancy, and both counties significantly exceed Glacier County's 66.9 years. However, Granite has the sparsest primary care infrastructure—just 30 providers per 100,000 residents, the lowest in the region.
Provider scarcity despite health gains
Granite County's residents enjoy excellent health outcomes and live longer, yet only 30 primary care providers per 100,000 residents serve them—far below the regional average. Mental health support at 56 per 100,000 is also limited, suggesting residents may travel for specialized care.
Insurance critical with sparse providers
With limited primary care and mental health providers in Granite County, having robust insurance becomes even more important for accessing care. Visit Healthcare.gov or call 1-800-318-2596 to ensure coverage, and ask providers about telehealth options that can bridge geographic gaps.
