Data Story
About Health in Tillamook County, Oregon
Coastal county faces life expectancy gap
Tillamook County residents live an average of 75.2 years, 3.1 years shorter than the U.S. average of 78.3 years and among the lowest in this dataset. The 17.3% poor/fair health rate aligns with the national average, but the significant life expectancy shortfall signals deeper health vulnerabilities.
Struggles compared to Oregon average
Tillamook County's 75.2-year life expectancy falls 1.8 years below Oregon's state average of 77.0 years, placing it among the state's lower-performing counties. This small, coastal population faces distinct health challenges that urgently need community and policy attention.
Coastal health challenge
Tillamook County's 75.2-year life expectancy is substantially lower than neighboring Polk County (79.0 years) and Yamhill County peers. The county's location and demographic profile create unique health pressures that exceed those of nearby Willamette Valley counties.
Primary care access adequate but facing gaps
Tillamook County provides 54 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, meeting rural standards, though mental health capacity at 332 per 100,000 may not fully serve demand. The 8.2% uninsured rate, near Oregon's 8.1% average, means some residents still face cost barriers to care.
