Data Story
About Health in Stewart County, Tennessee
Stewart County's life expectancy edges ahead
At 72.9 years, Stewart County residents live slightly longer than the U.S. average of 72.6 years, a small but meaningful advantage. However, one in five residents report poor or fair health, a rate that tracks with national averages and signals ongoing wellness challenges beyond lifespan alone.
Stewart ranks above Tennessee average
Stewart County's 72.9-year life expectancy outpaces Tennessee's 72.4-year state average, placing it in healthier company statewide. Yet with 20.3% of residents in poor or fair health, the county mirrors state health-status patterns and suggests room for improvement in preventive care.
Stewart holds its ground regionally
Stewart's 72.9-year life expectancy sits between neighboring Sumner County (75.6 years) and Sullivan County (72.7 years), reflecting regional variation in health outcomes. The county's 20.3% poor/fair health rate exceeds Sullivan's 18.8% but trails more challenged rural neighbors, positioning it as moderate on the regional spectrum.
Primary care gaps limit local access
With just 7 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, Stewart County faces significant provider shortages—far below the state average of roughly 50 per 100K. At 12.4% uninsured, residents already stretch to afford care, and limited local providers mean many travel for routine checkups.
