About Health in Todd County, South Dakota
Todd faces profound health crisis
Todd County's life expectancy of 58.8 years is more than 18 years below the U.S. average—the lowest in this group by far. Nearly one-third (33.2%) of residents report poor or fair health, a rate that rivals the worst-performing U.S. counties.
Severe health disparities within South Dakota
Todd County's life expectancy trails South Dakota's state average by 16.6 years, creating a stark health divide. The 33.2% poor/fair health rate indicates systemic challenges to community wellness.
Lowest primary care access in the region
Todd has only 22 primary care providers per 100,000 residents—less than one-quarter of Stanley County's 99. Mental health support is available at 98 providers per 100K, but primary care scarcity limits preventive care.
Health insurance gap compounds existing barriers
Todd County's uninsured rate of 13.2% exceeds the state average, meaning coverage barriers compound provider shortages. The combination of limited providers and uninsured residents creates compounding obstacles to care.
