Data Story
About Health in Charles City County, Virginia
Charles City life expectancy near national average
Charles City residents live to 75.9 years on average, about 3.4 years below the U.S. average of 79.3 years. More than 1 in 5 report poor or fair health, placing the county's health burden slightly above the national median.
Slightly above Virginia's health average
Charles City's 75.9-year life expectancy edges above Virginia's 75.1-year average, placing it in the state's healthier tier. However, its 21.1% poor/fair health rate suggests underlying wellness challenges despite this modest life expectancy advantage.
Health profile mixed versus nearby areas
Charles City's 75.9-year life expectancy surpasses Buckingham (74.8 years) and Caroline (74.9 years) but trails Campbell (76.5 years). Its 11.4% uninsured rate is the highest among nearby counties and well above the state average of 7.9%, signaling healthcare access barriers.
Moderate care capacity strained by uninsurance
Charles City provides 15 primary care providers and 45 mental health providers per 100,000 residents—reasonable numbers for basic care. Yet the county's 11.4% uninsured rate—the highest in this cluster—limits many residents' ability to access these available services.
Close coverage gaps to unlock healthcare
With 1 in 9 Charles City residents uninsured, accessing coverage through healthcare.gov or Virginia Medicaid could be transformational. A local health navigator can help you understand eligibility and enroll in a plan that fits your family's situation.
