Data Story
About Health in Uinta County, Wyoming
Uinta lags behind national health markers
At 75.0 years, Uinta County's life expectancy trails the U.S. average of 76.4 years by 1.4 years. Over 16% report poor or fair health—well above the national rate of 17%—indicating widespread chronic conditions and limited wellness prevention.
Among Wyoming's lowest life expectancies
Uinta's 75.0-year life expectancy ranks among the lowest in Wyoming, 2.0 years below the state average of 77.0. Its 16.1% poor/fair health rate places it in the state's bottom tier alongside Sweetwater and Washakie counties.
Health challenges exceed southern neighbors
Uinta's 75.0-year life expectancy slightly edges Sweetwater (74.6 years) but trails Sublette (80.2 years) to the north by 5.2 years. The county's 16.1% poor/fair health rate signals concentrated health risk, possibly linked to economic transitions and industrial legacy.
Moderate access with above-average uninsured rate
Uinta has 13.7% uninsured—slightly above state average—while offering 58 primary care providers per 100,000 and solid mental health support at 381 per 100,000. Despite reasonable provider numbers, the county's high poor/fair health rate suggests barriers to care utilization or chronic disease burden.
