Data Story
About Health in Kerr County, Texas
Kerr balances length with quality
Kerr County residents live to 76.5 years, nearly two years longer than the U.S. average of 74.5 years. However, 21% report poor or fair health—above the national average of 17.8%—indicating extended life doesn't guarantee good health quality.
Above Texas average on longevity
Kerr's 76.5-year life expectancy tops Texas's 74.3-year average by more than two years, ranking it in the state's upper tier. The county's 19% uninsured rate roughly matches the state average of 19.8%, showing typical coverage levels for rural Texas.
Strong provider access, mixed outcomes
Kerr's 81 primary care providers per 100K rival Kendall's 86 and exceed Kaufman's 21, positioning it as a regional provider hub. Yet Kendall's superior life expectancy (79.8 vs. 76.5) suggests coverage or community health factors beyond provider density matter in health outcomes.
Robust providers, moderate barriers
Kerr offers 81 primary care providers per 100,000 residents and exceptional mental health access at 339 per 100K, among Texas's highest. Despite good infrastructure, 19% of residents remain uninsured, meaning some cannot afford to use these providers.
Use Kerr's providers—get insured
