Data Story
About Health in Adams County, Wisconsin
Life expectancy lags national average
Adams County residents live to an average of 75.9 years, about 5 years shorter than the U.S. life expectancy of roughly 78 years. With 17.1% of adults reporting poor or fair health—higher than many national benchmarks—the county faces real health challenges that deserve attention and resources.
Below Wisconsin's health benchmark
At 75.9 years, Adams County's life expectancy trails Wisconsin's state average of 77.8 years by nearly 2 years. This gap suggests the county would benefit from stronger focus on preventive care and chronic disease management to close the gap with state leaders.
Shortest life span in northern peer group
Adams County's 75.9-year life expectancy sits well below neighboring Marquette and Waupaca counties, which exceed the state average. The 17.1% poor/fair health rate also ranks among the highest in the region, indicating concentrated health disparities that demand targeted intervention.
Primary care gap threatens daily access
With just 10 primary care providers per 100,000 residents—roughly one-sixth the state's typical ratio—Adams County struggles to meet basic healthcare needs. The 8.5% uninsured rate adds friction to seeking care, leaving vulnerable residents without a regular medical home.
