Key State Highlights.

Wyoming generally enjoys better health outcomes and socioeconomic opportunities compared to states across the nation despite facing greater health care access and environmental challenges.

While Wyoming ranks in the middle in health outcomes, American Indian/Alaska Native populations still experience substantially higher rates of premature mortality. They also have the lowest rates of attaining a livable income and health insurance coverage compared to all other groups.
Black adults in Wyoming experience poorer rates of food security than the state rate for all groups and Black infants are most likely to be born with low birth weights compared to other populations in the state.
Hispanic residents in Wyoming face challenges in accessing health care and are least likely to live in areas with an adequate supply of primary care providers.
While White populations generally fare better than most other groups on health and broader measures of opportunity in Wyoming, White and Black populations are among the least likely to live in areas with low liquor store densities and Whites and Hispanics are the least likely to have access to psychiatric care providers.
