Data Story
About Health in Roosevelt County, Montana
Roosevelt faces nation's steepest challenges
Roosevelt County's life expectancy of 60.4 years trails the U.S. average by a striking 16 years, representing a public health crisis. Nearly 28.2% of residents report poor or fair health—far exceeding the national average of 17%—indicating severe health disparities in this community.
Montana's lowest life expectancy by far
At 60.4 years, Roosevelt County residents live 15.9 years less than Montana's 76.3-year average—the most dramatic gap in the state. This extraordinary disparity reflects deep structural health challenges that demand urgent attention and resources.
Health crisis exceeds neighboring counties
Roosevelt's 28.2% poor/fair health rate dwarfs nearby Rosebud County (24%) and all other Montana neighbors, while its life expectancy of 60.4 years is uniquely dire. Even Sanders County (16.5% uninsured) shows far better health outcomes, suggesting Roosevelt faces distinct and severe barriers.
Insurance gaps compound existing crises
With 13.4% uninsured—above the state average of 11.9%—nearly 1 in 8 Roosevelt County residents lack coverage, limiting their ability to access the county's 65 primary care providers. The combination of high uninsured rates and severe health outcomes suggests residents face both financial and healthcare delivery barriers.
