About Health in Trousdale County, Tennessee
Trousdale faces health challenges nationwide
At 72.0 years, Trousdale County's life expectancy falls below the U.S. average of 72.6 years, and its 21.8% poor/fair health rate ranks among the nation's higher prevalence rates. These metrics point to elevated chronic disease burden and limited preventive care penetration.
Trousdale struggles below state benchmarks
Trousdale's 72.0-year life expectancy trails Tennessee's 72.4-year average, and its 21.8% poor/fair health rate significantly exceeds the state pattern. With 9.2% uninsured—below the state average—the county's health challenges reflect factors beyond affordability, such as provider access and chronic disease management.
Trousdale among region's hardest hit
Trousdale's 21.8% poor/fair health rate and 72.0-year life expectancy rank among the worst in its county cluster, surpassed only by Union County (69.8 years). The county faces compounded challenges from limited mental health providers (just 8 per 100K) and modest primary care availability (33 per 100K).
Mental health access severely limited
Trousdale County has only 8 mental health providers per 100,000 residents—far below state and national standards—leaving residents with serious mental illness without local support. Combined with 33 primary care providers per 100K, the county struggles to address both physical and behavioral health needs.
Get insured, get healthier
Though Trousdale's 9.2% uninsured rate is better than state average, health outcomes suggest that coverage alone isn't enough; access barriers remain. Visit healthcare.gov or your county health department to enroll, then work with your provider to address chronic conditions through preventive care and mental health support.
