Data Story
About Health in Charlotte County, Virginia
Charlotte faces severe life expectancy deficit
At 71.7 years, Charlotte residents live roughly 7.6 years below the U.S. average of 79.3 years—among Virginia's lowest life expectancies. With 23.3% reporting poor or fair health, Charlotte faces one of the highest wellness burdens in the state, demanding urgent intervention.
Among Virginia's poorest health outcomes
Charlotte's 71.7-year life expectancy ranks near the bottom of Virginia counties, falling 3.4 years short of the state average of 75.1 years. Its 23.3% poor/fair health rate is among the state's worst, reflecting concentrated and serious health challenges.
Significantly lagging surrounding county health
Charlotte's 71.7-year life expectancy trails Campbell (76.5 years) by almost 5 years and Buckingham (74.8 years) by over 3 years. While its 8.5% uninsured rate is near the state average, the county's provider shortage compounds healthcare access barriers.
Surprisingly strong mental health, weak primary care
Charlotte offers 79 mental health providers per 100,000 residents—above many neighboring counties—yet provides only 52 primary care providers per 100,000. This imbalance means residents may struggle to access routine preventive care despite adequate behavioral health support.
Prioritize coverage and preventive care now
Charlotte residents need continuous insurance access to prevent health crises and improve outcomes through preventive care. Check healthcare.gov immediately to explore coverage options, and partner with a healthcare provider to establish routine care before problems escalate.
