Data Story
About Health in Hampton city, Virginia
Hampton matches national health norms
At 74.6 years, Hampton City residents live about 3.4 years below the U.S. average of 78.0 years. The 18.3% poor or fair health rate reflects typical urban disadvantages: concentrated poverty, limited preventive care, and chronic disease burden.
Below Virginia's health baseline
Hampton's 74.6-year life expectancy lags Virginia's 75.1-year average by just 0.5 years, positioning it slightly below state norms. The city's urban structure and economic diversity provide some health infrastructure advantages over rural counties.
Urban advantage over rural peers
Hampton (74.6 years) outperforms rural neighbors Grayson (74.6 years, same) and Greensville (71.4), but trails more affluent areas like Goochland (80.2). The city's provider network—387 mental health providers per 100,000—demonstrates urban healthcare concentration.
Urban infrastructure, persistent gaps
Hampton's 6.1% uninsured rate is better than Virginia's 7.9%, but 37 primary care providers per 100,000 residents leave gaps in underserved neighborhoods. The city's strength in mental health (387 providers per 100K) masks disparities in geographic access.
