At 76.5 years, Hansford County residents outlive the Texas average by 2.2 years and approach the national average of 79.8 years. However, 21.2% report poor or fair health status, showing that longevity doesn't always reflect day-to-day wellness perceptions.
Above average lifespan, high uninsured rate
Hansford County's 76.5-year life expectancy ranks above Texas's 74.3-year average, yet its uninsured rate of 27.1% is the highest among these eight counties and significantly exceeds the state average of 19.8%. This gap suggests that despite longer lifespans, many residents struggle with healthcare access.
