Data Story
About Health in Prince George County, Virginia
Prince George tops national life expectancy
At 78.9 years, Prince George's life expectancy exceeds the U.S. average of 76.1 years by 2.8 years, reflecting excellent population health. Yet 20.9% of residents report poor or fair health—paradoxically high—suggesting pockets of serious health burden despite strong longevity overall.
Second-best longevity in Virginia
Prince George's 78.9-year life expectancy ranks second only to Prince William County within the state, exceeding Virginia's average of 75.1 years by 3.8 years. Its 20.9% poor/fair health rate, however, stands above the state median, creating a puzzling contrast.
Strong longevity, mixed health reports
Prince George's 78.9 years trails only Prince William (80.6 years) regionally but significantly outpaces Portsmouth (70.5 years) and Radford (74.8 years). The county's 20.9% poor/fair health rate exceeds neighboring Powhatan (13.2%), indicating health disparities within the area.
Provider shortage despite excellent life expectancy
Prince George has only 16 primary care providers per 100,000—the lowest of any county in this analysis—yet achieves strong longevity outcomes. With a 6.4% uninsured rate well below the state average of 7.9%, residents have insurance but face significant barriers finding primary care.
Secure coverage and demand provider access
Strong insurance rates won't help if doctors aren't available to see patients. Confirm your coverage at healthcare.gov and connect with your local health department about expanding primary care capacity.
