Data Story
About Health in Hill County, Montana
Life expectancy below state, national
At 72.9 years, Hill County residents live 3.4 years below Montana's average and nearly 6 years below the U.S. average of 78.9 years. With 18.9% reporting poor or fair health—below the national average of 21%—the county faces a longevity challenge despite moderate self-reported health.
Third-lowest life expectancy statewide
Hill County's 72.9-year life expectancy ranks third-worst in this Montana sample, ahead only of Glacier County at 66.9 years. The 12.6% uninsured rate is slightly above the state average, and 18.9% report poor/fair health, placing it in the middle of the regional range.
Significant life expectancy gap
Hill County's 72.9-year life expectancy trails Judith Basin County by 9.1 years and Granite County by 7.1 years. However, its 406 mental health providers per 100,000 residents is by far the highest in the region, nearly doubling Hill County's peers.
Strong mental health, moderate primary care
Hill County has excellent mental health infrastructure with 406 providers per 100,000 residents—more than triple most neighbors—and 68 primary care providers per 100,000. Yet despite these resources, life expectancy lags, suggesting factors beyond provider availability may be limiting health outcomes.
Access mental health and primary care
Hill County's exceptional mental health provider network offers a real opportunity to improve population health, but only if residents are insured and accessing care.
