Data Story
About Health in Hudspeth County, Texas
Paradox: average lifespan, poor health
Hudspeth County's life expectancy of 74.3 years matches the national average, yet 39% of residents report poor or fair health—nearly double the national rate. This disconnect suggests acute health challenges despite baseline longevity, reflecting concentrated disease burden in the population.
Highest health burden in Texas
At 39%, Hudspeth County's poor/fair health rate far exceeds Texas's baseline, indicating the worst self-reported health status across the state. This is the starkest health equity challenge among the eight counties examined.
Data gaps hinder comparison
Provider data is unavailable for Hudspeth County, making direct comparison to neighbors like Hunt County and Jack County impossible. This data gap itself reflects limited healthcare infrastructure—a common marker of rural, underserved communities.
Uninsured rate highest in region
Hudspeth County's uninsured rate of 25.6% is the highest among the eight counties and 5.8 percentage points above Texas average. Combined with limited documented provider availability, residents face dual barriers: both affording and accessing care.
