About Health in Grant County, Washington
Grant County facing health headwinds
At 76.8 years, Grant County residents live 1.0 year below the U.S. average of 77.8 years, and 21.9% report poor or fair health—above the national average of 19.1%. The combination of lower-than-average lifespan and high perceived health burden signals systemic health challenges across the county.
Below Washington average on both fronts
Grant County's 76.8-year life expectancy falls 1.3 years below Washington's average of 78.1 years, and at 21.9%, its poor/fair health rate is notably worse than the state norm. The county ranks among Washington's lower-performing counties for overall health metrics.
Mid-range health in Southeast Washington
Grant County's 76.8-year life expectancy is lower than Garfield County (77.0 years) but slightly better than Ferry County (73.5 years), while its 21.9% poor/fair health rate sits between Franklin County's crisis level (24.4%) and Garfield County's healthier profile (15.7%). The county faces moderate-to-significant regional health challenges.
Coverage gap meets moderate provider access
Grant County's 13.0% uninsured rate—49% higher than the state average of 9.0%—limits residents' ability to access care, while primary care providers number just 40 per 100,000. Mental health services are relatively strong at 265 per 100,000, but the uninsured barrier and primary care scarcity create access obstacles.
