Data Story
About Health in Logan County, West Virginia
Logan faces the nation's health crisis
Logan County's 66.2-year life expectancy is 8.3 years below the U.S. average of 74.5 years—among the lowest life expectancies recorded in America. At 29.2% reporting poor or fair health, nearly 3 in 10 residents live with chronic illness or disability.
Second-worst health in West Virginia
Logan's 66.2-year life expectancy is 6 years below West Virginia's state average of 72.2 years, second only to Lincoln County. The 29.2% poor/fair health rate ranks as the second-highest in the state, reflecting a multi-generational health crisis.
Dramatically outpaced by healthier counties
Logan residents live 6.9 years fewer than Harrison County (73.1 years) and 9.7 years fewer than Jefferson County (75.9 years). With just 41 primary care providers per 100K and 130 mental health providers per 100K, Logan's healthcare workforce cannot meet the demand driven by widespread chronic disease.
Highest uninsured rate plus provider gaps
Logan's 8.4% uninsured rate is the highest in this sample, meaning roughly 1 in 12 residents lack coverage entirely. Combined with sparse provider density, uninsured residents face doubled barriers: no coverage to pay for care and no doctors nearby to receive it.
Coverage is critical in Logan
If you're uninsured in Logan, healthcare.gov and WV Medicaid (1-855-WVHEALTHYY) are your lifelines—immediate enrollment can prevent catastrophic illness and debt. Every person covered strengthens the county's ability to reverse its health decline.
