About Health in Cambria County, Pennsylvania
Cambria's health significantly lags nationally
At 74.6 years, Cambria County's life expectancy falls 1.8 years short of the U.S. average of 76.4 years. Nearly 1 in 5 residents (19.3%) report poor or fair health—well above the national norm—indicating serious wellness challenges.
Struggling against Pennsylvania averages
Cambria County's 74.6-year life expectancy lags the state average of 76.4 years by 1.8 years, ranking it among Pennsylvania's lower-performing counties. The 19.3% poor/fair health rate signals persistent health burdens in the community.
Struggles match regional challenges
Cambria County ties Carbon County (74.5 years) and Clarion County (74.9 years) in the region's lowest life expectancy tier, all falling 5+ years short of Chester and Centre counties. These adjacent counties face similar economic and healthcare access pressures.
Adequate coverage, modest provider gaps
Cambria's 5.1% uninsured rate sits below the state average of 7.0%, suggesting reasonable insurance access. However, 70 primary care providers per 100,000 people trails higher-performing counties, and 242 mental health providers per 100,000 reflect limited mental health capacity.
