Data Story
About Health in Chesterfield County, South Carolina
Life expectancy trails national average
Chesterfield residents live to 70.9 years on average, 7 years below the U.S. average and 1.6 years below South Carolina's state average. One in five residents (20.5%) report poor or fair health, compared to the nation's 15%.
Below-average outcomes statewide
Chesterfield County ranks 39th among South Carolina's 46 counties for life expectancy at 70.9 years. The county's health profile reflects challenges common to rural Pee Dee communities: limited healthcare infrastructure and higher rates of chronic disease.
Rural Pee Dee struggles persist
Chesterfield's 70.9-year life expectancy sits just above Cherokee County (70.6) and well above Colleton and Chester (68.6 each). With 30 primary care providers per 100,000, the county has thin coverage compared to state leaders like Charleston with 124.
High uninsured rate, sparse providers
At 12.4% uninsured, Chesterfield has one of the state's highest rates, and the county offers limited provider density with 30 primary care and 139 mental health providers per 100,000 residents. Gaps in coverage and access create barriers to preventive care and chronic disease management.
