Data Story
About Health in Crawford County, Pennsylvania
Crawford struggles with coverage and longevity
At 75.5 years, Crawford County's life expectancy falls nearly 1 full year below the U.S. average of 76.4 years, while its 19.2% poor/fair health rate signals persistent wellness challenges. The county's 10.0% uninsured rate—the highest among these eight counties—compounds access barriers.
Worst coverage rate in Pennsylvania's cohort
Crawford's 75.5-year life expectancy trails Pennsylvania's 76.4-year average, placing it in the lower tier of state counties. Most concerning, its 10.0% uninsured rate significantly exceeds the state average of 7.0%, meaning roughly 4,700 Crawford residents lack health coverage.
Regional leader in uninsured residents
Crawford's 10.0% uninsured rate far exceeds all nearby counties, including Clearfield (6.4%) and Elk (6.0%), reflecting deeper economic or systemic barriers. At 61 primary care providers per 100,000, Crawford leads in physical provider access but fails to translate that into better coverage or longevity.
Coverage crisis masks provider availability
Though Crawford offers 61 primary care providers per 100,000 residents—the highest in this cohort—nearly 1 in 10 residents cannot access their care due to lack of insurance. The gap suggests affordability, not availability, is the core barrier to health care in Crawford.
Crawford urgently needs coverage action
Nearly 4,700 Crawford County residents have no health insurance, the highest rate in this region and a crisis requiring immediate attention. Call 1-800-MEDICARE, visit Healthcare.gov, or contact Crawford County's health department today—Medicaid, CHIP, and marketplace plans can cover your family.
