Data Story
About Health in Clark County, Wisconsin
Clark faces health headwinds
At 76.8 years, Clark County's life expectancy lags the U.S. average of 76.4 years by only a sliver, but the county's 18.7% poor/fair health rate significantly exceeds the national 18%, signaling underlying health challenges. The 20% uninsured rate—nearly triple Wisconsin's 7.0%—is a critical barrier to healthcare access.
Among Wisconsin's lowest
Clark ranks near the bottom of Wisconsin counties on life expectancy and uninsured rate; at 20% uninsured, it's drastically worse than the state's 7.0% average. This coverage gap directly impacts residents' ability to manage chronic conditions and access preventive care.
Struggling relative to peers
Clark's 76.8-year life expectancy is the lowest among its regional neighbors, trailing Chippewa by 2 years and Crawford by nearly 2. With only 20 primary care providers per 100K—the lowest in this cohort—residents face substantial travel and scheduling barriers.
Coverage crisis threatens health
One in five Clark County residents (20%) are uninsured, meaning they delay care, skip prescriptions, and avoid preventive checkups due to cost. Even mental health services at 63 per 100K fall below rural averages, leaving residents isolated from both primary and behavioral health support.
Clark needs coverage now
If you're among the 20% uninsured, enrollment in a marketplace plan or BadgerCare+ could be life-changing—reducing your medical debt and improving health outcomes. Visit healthcare.gov or WI.gov/BadgerCare to explore no-cost or low-cost options today.
