Health data brief for Roberts County, Texas.
The uninsured rate in Roberts County is 12.3%, which is significantly lower than the Texas state average of 19.8%. While this rate is slightly higher than the 10% national average, it represents one of the lower insurance gaps in the region. Other available data shows that 17.9% of adults report fair or poor health, which aligns closely with the national average of 17%. Statistical information for life expectancy, primary care provider ratios, and mental health provider ratios was not available for Roberts County in this dataset. These gaps in data often occur in counties with smaller populations. Because of the limited metrics provided, the lower-than-average uninsured rate remains the most distinctive feature of the county's recent health reporting profile.
