Data Story
About Health in York County, Pennsylvania
York leads in Pennsylvania life expectancy
At 77.5 years, York County residents live significantly longer than the U.S. average of 76.1 years. With 16.4% reporting poor or fair health—just above the national average of 16%—York demonstrates strong population health outcomes.
The state's healthiest county
York's 77.5-year life expectancy is the highest among Pennsylvania counties, surpassing the state average of 76.4 years by more than a year. This leading position reflects sustained health investments and favorable health behaviors across the county.
Setting the regional health standard
York's 77.5-year life expectancy exceeds Westmoreland (76.6 years) by nearly a year and Wyoming (75.4 years) by over two years. The county's 16.4% poor/fair health rate also positions it better than both neighbors, establishing York as the region's health leader.
Good access, but coverage gaps remain
York supports 67 primary care providers and 150 mental health providers per 100,000 residents—solid infrastructure, though slightly below Westmoreland levels. The county's 5.7% uninsured rate exceeds the state average of 7.0%, meaning roughly 1 in 17 residents still lacks insurance coverage.
Close the remaining coverage gap
York's health leadership can extend further: those 5.7% uninsured deserve access to affordable plans. Visit healthcare.gov or the Pennsylvania Health Connector to find subsidized options and ensure universal coverage in this thriving county.
