About Health in Silver Bow County, Montana
Silver Bow trails U.S. health benchmarks
Silver Bow County's life expectancy of 74.1 years falls 2.3 years short of the U.S. average of 76.4 years, while its 15.5% poor/fair health rate outperforms the national average of 17%. The county shows mixed performance relative to the nation as a whole.
Below-average lifespan, strong insurance
Silver Bow County's 74.1-year life expectancy trails Montana's 76.3-year average by 2.2 years, yet its 9.7% uninsured rate significantly beats the state average of 11.9%. This suggests healthcare coverage isn't the primary barrier to health in Silver Bow.
Standout mental health provider network
Silver Bow's 594 mental health providers per 100K is exceptional—nearly double the availability in surrounding counties and far exceeding the state's typical rural levels. However, its 79 primary care providers per 100K provides solid primary care access without being exceptional.
Strong coverage, specialized support strength
With only 9.7% uninsured and an exceptional network of 594 mental health providers per 100K, Silver Bow residents have excellent access to behavioral health services. Yet the county's below-average life expectancy suggests other factors—such as lifestyle, environmental, or social determinants—may be limiting overall health outcomes.
Maintain insurance for better outcomes
Silver Bow's strong insurance enrollment of 90.3% shows the power of coverage—especially as you access the county's robust mental health services. If you're among the 9.7% uninsured, visit Healthcare.gov to secure a plan today.
