Data Story
About Health in Big Horn County, Wyoming
Big Horn County faces national health gap
At 76.1 years, Big Horn County's life expectancy falls 2.0 years short of the U.S. average of 76.1 years. With 15.4% of residents in poor or fair health, the county tracks slightly below the national rate, but the shorter lifespan signals underlying health challenges.
Below-average health across Wyoming
Big Horn County's 76.1-year life expectancy ranks below Wyoming's state average of 77.0 years, placing it among the state's lower-performing counties. The county's 15.4% poor/fair health rate is close to state levels, but the life expectancy gap indicates chronic challenges.
Fewest providers in the region
Big Horn County has just 34 primary care providers per 100,000 residents—the lowest in its region and well below Campbell County's 56 per 100K and Albany County's 80 per 100K. Mental health access is similarly strained at 166 providers per 100,000, less than half Albany County's 617 per 100K.
Healthcare access barriers persist
Big Horn County's 18.8% uninsured rate—the highest in Wyoming—means nearly 1 in 5 residents lack health coverage, significantly above the state average of 14.8%. The scarcity of primary care and mental health providers compounds this challenge, leaving residents with fewer options for preventive and behavioral care.
