About Health in Andrews County, Texas
Andrews matches national life expectancy
At 74.6 years, Andrews County residents live slightly longer than the U.S. average of 74.5 years. However, 25.4% of residents report poor or fair health—well above the national average—suggesting chronic conditions remain prevalent despite decent longevity.
Slightly above Texas life expectancy
Andrews County edges out Texas's 74.3-year average by 0.3 years, yet its 25.4% poor/fair health rate ranks among the state's highest. The county's 22.9% uninsured rate is notably above the state average of 19.8%, affecting health access.
Uninsured rate highest among peers
Andrews County's 22.9% uninsured rate exceeds all nearby counties tracked, including Anderson (17.7%) and Aransas (20.6%). Despite solid life expectancy, this coverage gap signals affordability barriers that may underlie the high poor/fair health rate.
Mental health access critically limited
Andrews offers 49 primary care providers per 100,000 residents but only 16 mental health providers per 100,000—severely below adequacy benchmarks. Combined with a 22.9% uninsured rate, many residents likely face dual barriers to both physical and mental healthcare.
