About Health in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania

Wyoming faces health headwinds

Life expectancy here stands at 75.4 years, trailing the U.S. average of 76.1 years. Nearly one in five residents (18.5%) report poor or fair health, significantly above the national average of 16%, signaling real health challenges.

Among Pennsylvania's lower-ranked counties

Wyoming's 75.4-year life expectancy falls notably short of Pennsylvania's 76.4-year state average. The 18.5% poor/fair health rate ranks among the state's worst, placing the county in the lower tier of Pennsylvania health rankings.

Lagging behind nearby counties

Provider shortage compounds access issues

Wyoming has just 58 primary care providers per 100,000 residents—far below Westmoreland's 72—and only 77 mental health providers per 100,000, the lowest in the region. Combined with a 5.2% uninsured rate above the state average, many residents face barriers to finding and affording care.
