Data Story
About Health in Bastrop County, Texas
Bastrop life expectancy beats U.S. average
Bastrop County's 76.8-year life expectancy outpaces the U.S. average of 73.5 years by 3.3 years, reflecting above-average longevity. Its 20.7% poor or fair health rate slightly exceeds the national average of 19.2%, suggesting some daily health challenges persist despite strong life span.
Bastrop ranks above Texas health baseline
With a life expectancy of 76.8 years, Bastrop exceeds the Texas state average of 74.3 years by 2.5 years. Its 20.8% uninsured rate is marginally above the state average of 19.8%, indicating modest coverage gaps.
Primary care access needs attention
Bastrop County has only 24 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, the lowest among nearby counties like Bandera (33) and Blanco (42). Mental health capacity at 75 per 100K is moderate, below Bandera's 194 but above Bailey's 45.
Coverage is decent, but provider shortage limits access
Bastrop's 20.8% uninsured rate is reasonable, but the county's shortage of primary care providers (24 per 100K) means residents often wait weeks for appointments or travel outside the county for routine care. This access gap can delay diagnosis and preventive treatment.
Secure coverage and plan ahead
If you're uninsured in Bastrop, applying for coverage now is especially important given local provider constraints—advance registration helps you lock in a doctor before demand builds. Visit Healthcare.gov or your local health department to explore options.
