About Health in Marshall County, Tennessee
Marshall County Outpaces National Health
Marshall County residents live to 73.6 years on average, nearly a year longer than the U.S. average of 72.8 years. Yet one in four Marshall County residents (23.1%) report poor or fair health, slightly above the national average of 21%, signaling health challenges persist despite longevity gains.
Health Advantage Over Tennessee
Marshall County ranks well within Tennessee, with a life expectancy of 73.6 years—1.2 years above the state average of 72.4 years. The county's uninsured rate of 10.7% also beats Tennessee's 11.9% state average, giving residents better baseline coverage.
Stronger Than Surrounding Counties
Marshall County's 73.6-year life expectancy leads its neighbors: McMinn County (71.3), McNairy County (70.3), and Monroe County (70.8) all lag behind. With 17 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, Marshall falls short of Maury County's 49 per 100K, highlighting a gap in preventive care access.
Mental Health Support Available
Marshall County's 73 mental health providers per 100,000 residents offer solid psychiatric support compared to many rural Tennessee counties. The 10.7% uninsured rate means roughly 1 in 10 residents still lack coverage, and with just 17 primary care doctors per 100K, many face long waits for routine care.
