Data Story
About Health in Haskell County, Texas
Haskell faces significant health challenges
At 74.1 years, Haskell County residents live about 5.7 years less than the U.S. average of 79.8 years and just below Texas's 74.3-year average. Notably, 25.1% report poor or fair health—the highest rate among all eight counties—signaling above-average chronic disease burden and health struggles.
Below average on lifespan, above on uninsured
Haskell County's 74.1-year life expectancy falls slightly below Texas's 74.3-year average, and at 23.6% uninsured, it exceeds the state average of 19.8%. The combination of shorter lifespan and higher uninsurance suggests compounded barriers to health maintenance and treatment.
Strong provider access amid high health burden
Haskell County offers solid provider access with 92 primary care providers and 130 mental health providers per 100,000 residents—comparable to or exceeding many neighbors. Despite these resources, the county's 25.1% poor/fair health rate suggests social determinants and chronic disease burden outpace clinical supply.
Worst health perceptions despite decent access
One in four Haskell County residents (25.1%) report poor or fair health—the worst in this group—and 23.6% lack insurance. The county has 92 primary care and 130 mental health providers per 100,000, yet these resources appear insufficient to address the population's disease burden and preventive care gaps.
Get insured and stay healthy
Haskell County's 23.6% uninsured rate compounds its health challenges; securing coverage is a critical first step. Visit healthcare.gov or call your local health department to enroll and connect with primary care providers who can address preventive and chronic disease needs.
