Data Story
About Health in Beaver County, Pennsylvania
Beaver County trails national health
At 75.6 years, Beaver County residents live 0.8 years below the U.S. average of 76.4 years, a visible gap suggesting population-wide health challenges. The 16.1% poor/fair health rate is near-average nationally, but the low life expectancy indicates serious underlying health burdens.
Below Pennsylvania's health baseline
Beaver County's 75.6-year life expectancy falls 0.8 years short of Pennsylvania's 76.4-year state average, placing it in the lower tier of county performance. This shortfall reflects ongoing challenges in a county shaped by industrial decline and aging.
Struggling alongside Allegheny rivals
Beaver County's 75.6-year life expectancy is 1.3 years lower than neighboring Allegheny County (76.9 years), despite proximity to Pittsburgh's major medical institutions. Its 16.1% poor/fair health rate matches Allegheny exactly, suggesting shared industrial-era health patterns across western PA.
Provider shortage limits care options
With only 39 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, Beaver County faces one of the lowest provider densities in the state, constraining preventive care access. The 4.9% uninsured rate is reasonable, but sparse providers mean even covered residents struggle to find appointments.
Get insured, then find care
Nearly 1 in 20 Beaver County residents lack insurance, adding complexity to healthcare access in an already tight provider market. Enrollment opens annually—visit healthcare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE to secure coverage and connect with available providers.
