Data Story
About Health in Kenedy County, Texas
Kenedy faces critical health crisis
Kenedy County reports a staggering 46.5% poor or fair health rate—nearly three times the U.S. average of 17.8%—indicating a population in distress. While life expectancy data isn't available, this health burden suggests Kenedy residents face serious barriers to wellness.
Texas's most challenged county
Kenedy's 46.5% poor/fair health rate and 37.7% uninsured rate far exceed Texas averages (uninsured: 19.8%), making it one of the state's most underserved counties. The absence of life expectancy data compounds uncertainty, but available indicators point to acute health crisis.
Isolated health crisis in region
Kenedy's 37.7% uninsured rate dwarfs nearby Kinney County (12.9%) and stands light-years apart from Kendall County (15.3%). Limited provider data and extremely high uninsured rates suggest Kenedy residents struggle to access care that neighboring counties take for granted.
Broken access, overwhelming need
More than one-third of Kenedy residents (37.7%) lack health insurance, and provider data isn't available—suggesting severe shortages or reporting gaps. The county's 46.5% poor/fair health rate reflects both lack of coverage and likely shortage of primary and mental health providers.
