Data Story
About Health in Randolph County, North Carolina
Randolph County Lags Both Nation and State
At 72.9 years, Randolph County's life expectancy trails the U.S. average of 76.4 years by 3.5 years and North Carolina's average by 1.5 years. With 21.2% reporting poor or fair health—well above national benchmarks—the county faces significant health challenges.
Randolph County Ranks Among NC's Worst
Randolph County's 72.9-year life expectancy ranks it near the bottom of North Carolina's 100 counties, and its 13.4% uninsured rate exceeds the state average of 12.5%. Both metrics signal systemic health barriers that demand urgent attention.
Struggling Amid Stronger Piedmont Neighbors
Randolph County's 72.9-year life expectancy falls short of Person County (74.8 years), Pitt County (74.9 years), and especially Polk County (76.5 years). At 21.2% poor/fair health, the county matches Person but exceeds all other nearby peers, indicating concentrated health disparities.
Sparse Primary Care, Higher Uninsured Rates
Randolph County has only 43 primary care providers per 100,000 residents—roughly one-third of Pitt County's density—and 13.4% are uninsured. This combination creates a bottleneck: fewer doctors serving more uninsured patients means delayed care and worse health outcomes.
