Data Story
About Health in Webb County, Texas
Life expectancy strong despite health challenges
Webb County residents live to 75.8 years on average, 1.3 years above the U.S. median of 74.5 years. However, 26.4% report poor or fair health—among the highest in this eight-county group—indicating that longer lifespans mask significant daily health struggles.
Above Texas average, far below on coverage
Webb's 75.8-year life expectancy exceeds Texas's 74.3-year average by 1.5 years, a positive sign. Yet the uninsured rate of 27.1% far exceeds the state average of 19.8%—the highest among all eight counties—meaning cost barriers prevent many residents from accessing care.
Highest uninsured rate in the region
Webb County's 27.1% uninsured rate stands alone among these eight peers, more than 3 percentage points above the next-highest (Ward at 23.3%). Despite decent life expectancy, this uninsurance burden signals economic hardship and healthcare access challenges.
Moderate providers, but cost barriers block access
Webb has 31 primary care providers and 59 mental health providers per 100,000—decent numbers on the surface. However, the 27.1% uninsured rate means more than 1 in 4 residents cannot afford to use even these available services, creating a tragic access gap.
Coverage is critical for Webb families
More than 1 in 4 Webb County residents lack health insurance—the highest rate in this eight-county group—making coverage exploration urgent.
