Data Story
About Health in Briscoe County, Texas
Briscoe Faces Serious Health Crisis
Briscoe County reports 30.1% of residents in poor or fair health—among the worst rates in Texas. While specific life expectancy data is unavailable, this exceptionally high poor health rate signals significant population health challenges and urgent need for intervention.
Worst-in-Class Health Reporting
Briscoe's 30.1% poor or fair health rate dramatically exceeds Texas's population averages and ranks among the state's most distressed counties. With 21.5% uninsured, the county faces both health crises and coverage barriers.
Regional Health Crisis
Briscoe's 30.1% poor health rate far exceeds all regional peers—more than double Brewster's 17.9% and substantially worse than Bowie's 21.6%. Even with 71 primary care providers per 100K, these resources appear insufficient to address the population's acute health needs.
Limited Resources, High Need
Briscoe provides 71 primary care providers per 100K but lacks documented mental health provider data, suggesting limited behavioral health capacity. With 21.5% uninsured and 30.1% in poor health, the county faces a crisis of both access and demand.
