Data Story
About Health in Rosebud County, Montana
Rosebud lags well behind U.S. health
Rosebud County's life expectancy of 65.9 years falls 10.5 years short of the U.S. average of 76.4 years, representing a significant health gap. With 24% of residents reporting poor or fair health—well above the national average of 17%—the county experiences substantial health challenges.
Second-worst health outcomes in Montana
Rosebud County's 65.9-year life expectancy ranks second-lowest in Montana, trailing only Roosevelt County's 60.4 years and falling 10.4 years below the state average. At 11.1% uninsured, the county sits near the state average, suggesting insurance gaps aren't the primary driver of poor outcomes.
Health crisis shared with Roosevelt
Rosebud's 24% poor/fair health rate mirrors the severe challenges seen in neighboring Roosevelt County (28.2%), indicating a regional health crisis across this area. Both counties dramatically outpace healthier neighbors like Stillwater (12.2%) and Ravalli (13.1%).
Providers present, but outcomes remain poor
Despite having 49 primary care providers and 245 mental health providers per 100K—respectable numbers—Rosebud residents still experience the state's second-lowest life expectancy. This suggests healthcare access alone isn't solving deeper social determinants driving poor health outcomes.
