About Health in Camden County, North Carolina
Camden's life expectancy near national pace
Camden County residents live to 75.9 years, running about three years behind the U.S. life expectancy of 78.9 years. The 15.5% poor/fair health rate sits slightly below the 17% national average, showing moderately good health overall.
Solid performer within North Carolina
Camden's 75.9-year life expectancy exceeds the state average of 74.4 years by 1.5 years, placing it in the middle-to-upper tier of NC counties. The 15.5% poor/fair health rate also aligns well with state trends.
Mid-range outcomes regionally
Camden's 75.9-year life expectancy falls between Carteret (75.6 years) and Caldwell (72.4 years), reflecting moderate health status regionally. However, Camden's 19 primary care providers per 100,000 ranks lowest in the group—well below even Bladen (24 per 100K).
Good uninsured rate, but thin provider network
Camden's 9.4% uninsured rate is better than North Carolina's 12.5% average, meaning most residents have coverage. However, the county struggles with only 54 mental health providers per 100,000—severely limiting behavioral health capacity despite decent primary care insurance rates.
Secure coverage and access
Camden's strong uninsured rates are a community win, but those without coverage should verify their options through the marketplace. Having insurance in hand ensures you can access the limited provider capacity available.
