Data Story
About Health in Washington County, Utah
Washington County meets U.S. life expectancy
Washington County residents live an average of 80.2 years, slightly above the U.S. average of 77.8 years. However, 14.1% of the population experiences poor or fair health—notably higher than national norms, suggesting significant underlying health challenges.
Mixed outcomes within Utah
Washington County's 80.2-year life expectancy tops Utah's state average of 77.9 years, but its 14.1% poor/fair health rate ranks among the state's highest. This gap suggests the county has pockets of serious health struggles despite longer average lifespans.
Longer life, higher health struggles
Washington County's life expectancy (80.2 years) exceeds Utah County (79.4) and Weber County (77.0), but its 14.1% poor/fair health rate is the second-highest in the region after Wayne County (17.0%). This combination suggests health inequality within the county.
Good providers, high uninsured rates
Washington County has strong provider access with 54 primary care and 345 mental health providers per 100,000 residents. However, its 11.7% uninsured rate exceeds the state average of 10.2%, meaning more residents lack coverage and may skip care.
Insurance matters for health outcomes
