Data Story
About Health in McCulloch County, Texas
McCulloch County below U.S. health benchmark
McCulloch County residents live to 71.1 years—2.9 years below the U.S. average of 74.0 years. With 24.1% reporting poor or fair health compared to the national 17% benchmark, the county reflects above-average chronic disease burden and limited wellness resources.
Significantly below Texas average lifespan
McCulloch County's 71.1-year life expectancy falls 3.2 years short of Texas's 74.3-year average, while its 22.3% uninsured rate exceeds the state average of 19.8%. Both metrics indicate entrenched healthcare access and affordability challenges in this rural community.
Modest primary care, sparse mental health
McCulloch County has 40 primary care providers and 27 mental health providers per 100,000 residents—moderate capacity for primary care but limited behavioral health support. The mental health provider gap is particularly concerning given the elevated poor/fair health rate.
Insurance gaps coincide with disease burden
With 77.7% of residents insured, coverage is relatively stable, yet the 24.1% poor/fair health rate and low life expectancy suggest that available providers are overwhelmed or that residents lack transportation and health literacy support. Mental health services are particularly undersupplied relative to community need.
Close gaps, strengthen mental health access
McCulloch County residents should enroll uninsured family members at healthcare.gov, then advocate for expanded mental health services through county health commissioners and state legislators. Even with moderate insurance coverage, expanding behavioral health capacity is urgent to address the poor health outcomes.
