Data Story
About Health in Kimble County, Texas
Kimble outpaces nation on longevity
Kimble County residents live to 78.6 years, four years longer than the U.S. average of 74.5 years—a remarkable advantage. Yet 22.9% report poor or fair health, above the national average of 17.8%, showing that longer life spans don't guarantee healthier populations.
Well above Texas life expectancy
Kimble's 78.6-year life expectancy exceeds Texas's average of 74.3 years by more than four years, placing it among the state's longest-living counties. Its 21.6% uninsured rate slightly exceeds Texas's 19.8%, indicating room for improved coverage.
Life expectancy leader, coverage laggard
Kimble's 78.6-year life expectancy trails only Kendall (79.8) among nearby counties, but its 21.6% uninsured rate exceeds Kendall's 15.3% and Kerr's 19%. With 92 primary care and 90 mental health providers per 100K, Kimble has solid infrastructure but uneven coverage.
Good providers, insurance gaps remain
Kimble offers 92 primary care providers per 100,000 residents and balanced mental health access at 90 per 100K. However, one in five residents (21.6%) lacks health insurance, limiting their ability to use these available providers and forcing many to delay care.
Close the coverage gap
Kimble County has strong healthcare infrastructure, but 21.6% uninsured means thousands cannot access it affordably. Visit healthcare.gov or contact a local community health center today to secure coverage and join your neighbors in Kimble's long, healthy lives.
