Data Story
About Health in Surry County, Virginia
Surry's life expectancy edges ahead
At 75.6 years, Surry residents live slightly longer than the U.S. average of 74.5 years, a modest advantage reflected in its 20.1% poor/fair health rate. This solid performance suggests generally stable health outcomes for the county, though nearly one in five residents reports struggling with their health.
Outpacing Virginia's baseline
Surry's 75.6-year life expectancy tops Virginia's 75.1-year state average, ranking it among healthier Virginia communities. The county's 6.5% uninsured rate also beats the state average of 7.9%, giving more residents access to care.
Surry leads nearby rural counties
Compared to neighboring Sussex County (72.2 years) and Westmoreland County (75.3 years), Surry performs competitively on life expectancy. However, Surry lags on primary care providers at 15 per 100K—less than half the availability in nearby Warren County (59 per 100K).
Limited providers, lower uninsured rates
Only 15 primary care providers per 100K residents serve Surry—a significant gap for rural healthcare—though mental health support is more robust at 46 providers per 100K. The county's strong insurance rate (93.5% covered) means most residents have a path to care, but finding that care locally remains a daily challenge.
