Data Story
About Health in Jasper County, South Carolina
Jasper trails national life expectancy
At 74.1 years, Jasper County residents live about 2 years less than the U.S. average of 76.1 years, indicating room for improvement in preventive care and chronic disease management. One in five (19.9%) report poor or fair health, slightly above the national rate of 16%, reflecting moderate health challenges.
Above average for South Carolina
Jasper's life expectancy of 74.1 years exceeds South Carolina's average of 72.5 years by 1.6 years, placing it in the state's healthier half. However, the 19.9% poor/fair health rate signals ongoing struggles with chronic disease, particularly among low-income residents.
Similar health to Horry, fewer doctors
Jasper's life expectancy (74.1) mirrors Horry County (74.6) but with significantly fewer primary care providers—just 23 per 100,000 versus Horry's 62. This access gap likely forces Jasper residents to travel farther for routine care, delaying treatment and worsening outcomes over time.
Uninsured rate hits one in six
Jasper's 15.9% uninsured rate is the highest among compared counties, leaving roughly 3,500 residents without health coverage in a rural setting. With only 23 primary care providers per 100,000—among the lowest statewide—residents struggle to find available doctors, creating a double barrier to care.
