Middle-of-pack health outcomes in PA

At 76.6 years, Clinton's life expectancy sits marginally above Pennsylvania's 76.4-year average, placing it in the middle tier of state counties. The county's 8.5% uninsured rate, however, ranks above the state average of 7.0%, indicating higher financial barriers to care.

Struggling against regional peers

Clinton County's 19.1% poor/fair health rate ties it with neighboring Clearfield as among the highest in the region. With only 35 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, Clinton faces steeper rural provider challenges than Columbia County (57 per 100K) and other nearby areas.

Serious primary care shortage signals alarm

Clinton's 35 primary care providers per 100,000 residents ranks among the lowest in the region, creating real barriers to routine checkups and preventive medicine. The 8.5% uninsured rate means approximately 2,200 Clinton residents navigate healthcare without coverage, compounding access challenges.
