Data Story
About Health in Phillips County, Montana
Life expectancy below national average
Phillips County residents live an average of 75.0 years, nearly 4 years shorter than the US average of 78.8 years and well below Montana's 76.3 years. The county's 15.6% poor/fair health rate is slightly below the national average of 16%, but combined with lower life expectancy, suggests underlying health challenges.
One of Montana's shortest life spans
At 75.0 years, Phillips County ranks among the lowest for life expectancy in Montana, nearly 1.3 years below the state average. Its 15.6% poor/fair health rate is roughly average for the state, but the combination of shorter lifespan and moderate health concerns warrants focused public health attention.
Shortest lifespan in immediate region
Phillips County's 75.0-year life expectancy trails all measured neighbors, including Musselshell (76.2), Powell (75.8), and Petroleum (regional peer). The county's 24 primary care providers per 100K falls below Park County's 109 but slightly exceeds Musselshell's 20 per 100K.
Moderate uninsured rate, limited providers
Phillips County's uninsured rate of 10.6% sits just below Montana's 11.9% average, meaning roughly 1 in 9 residents lack coverage. With only 24 primary care providers per 100K, residents often face barriers to routine preventive care that might improve long-term health outcomes.
