Data Story
About Health in Titus County, Texas

At 74.5 years, Titus County residents live slightly longer than the U.S. average of 74.1 years, bucking the rural health trend. Still, one in four residents report poor or fair health, compared to the national rate of 17.9%, signaling underlying health challenges despite longevity gains.
Matching Texas average, slight health disadvantage
Titus County's 74.5-year life expectancy matches Texas's 74.3-year state average exactly, placing it squarely in the middle of the state's health outcomes. However, its 26.3% poor/fair health rate exceeds the state average, indicating residents face more daily health struggles than many Texans.
Titus trails East Texas health leaders
Tom Green County to the west boasts a 74.9-year life expectancy and lower poor/fair health rate (22.6%), while Travis County far outpaces all neighbors at 80.4 years. Titus performs similarly to Upshur County (73.4 years) but with notably higher rates of reported health problems.
One-quarter uninsured; providers spread thin
Titus County's 24.2% uninsured rate significantly exceeds Texas's 19.8% state average, leaving nearly one in four residents without coverage. Primary care providers are scarce at 42 per 100,000 residents, though mental health providers (93 per 100K) offer some support for behavioral health needs.
