About Health in Trempealeau County, Wisconsin

Above-average longevity, moderate health ratings

Trempealeau's 79.4-year life expectancy exceeds Wisconsin's 77.8-year average by 1.6 years, placing it in the healthier counties statewide. At 7.6% uninsured, the county matches Wisconsin's state average, reflecting typical insurance coverage patterns.

Strong longevity, weak provider access

Trempealeau's 79.4-year life expectancy matches or exceeds most peers, but its 26 primary care providers per 100K ranks among the lowest—tied with Taylor for scarcest access. The county also has just 58 mental health providers per 100K, the lowest in this group.

Severe mental health provider shortage

Trempealeau's 26 primary care providers per 100K is critically low, but the real crisis is mental health: only 58 providers per 100K serve the county, compared to 178–323 elsewhere. This leaves residents with 7.6% uninsured and facing long waits for behavioral health support.
