Linn County punches above its weight on health management.
Best health status, solid access
Linn County's 75.9-year life expectancy falls below Marion County (77.5 years) and Lane County (77.1 years) but exceeds all southern Oregon peers. Its 18.5% poor/fair health rate is the lowest in this group, and its 7.9% uninsured rate ties the state's best.

Primary care infrastructure at 59 per 100,000 is modest but workable for the valley location. Mental health provider access lags significantly at just 264 per 100,000, making behavioral health services harder to locate than medical care.
