About Health in Weston County, Wyoming

Solid standing in statewide health ranking
Weston's 78.0-year life expectancy ranks above Wyoming's state average of 77.0 years, placing it in the healthier half of the state. Its 16.5% poor/fair health rate trails state median, indicating moderate chronic disease management in this northeastern county.
Healthier than Washakie, comparable to Sheridan
Weston's 78.0-year life expectancy exceeds Washakie (76.1 years) and Sheridan (78.2 years) performs marginally better. The county's 16.5% poor/fair health rate sits between Sheridan's 13.4% and Washakie's 17.1%, indicating mid-range chronic disease burden.
Limited providers despite decent health metrics
Weston faces a provider shortage, with only 30 primary care doctors per 100,000—among the state's lowest—and 176 mental health providers per 100,000. The 14.6% uninsured rate sits near state average, yet sparse local capacity forces residents to seek care outside the county.
