About Health in Chase County, Nebraska
Chase County faces health headwinds

Among Nebraska's lower performers
Chase County's 77.4-year life expectancy matches Nebraska's state average of 77.5 years almost exactly, but its 17.6% poor or fair health rate ranks notably above the state norm. This gap suggests higher rates of chronic disease and health struggles despite average longevity.
Struggling compared to nearby counties
Cedar County to the north achieves 80.2 years while Chase manages just 77.4 years—a significant 2.8-year gap in the same region. Chase also faces provider shortages with just 26 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, among the lowest statewide.

Chase County's 11.2% uninsured rate far exceeds Nebraska's 8.1% average, leaving more than one in ten residents vulnerable to medical debt and delayed care. Provider access is critically tight: just 26 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, and mental health provider data is unavailable—suggesting severe behavioral health access gaps.
