The county’s has an average life expectancy of 85.2 years. But the longevity data range from 78.3 years for Black residents to 90.6 years for Asian residents.
Marin has yet again ranked the healthiest of California’s 58 counties, according to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
“As proud as we are, and we really take pride in the fact we are the healthiest county, we want people to understand that there is a segment of our population where this isn’t the story for them. And we need to work on that,” said Niccore Tyler, chief strategy officer for the Marin County Health and Human Services Department.
“There’s lots to celebrate here,” said Dr. Matt Willis, the county public health officer. “The rankings reinforce what we’re doing right and show us where we have work to do. It’s important to see that a single ranking can hide real disparities in Marin.” Much of the most recent efforts are offshoots of strategies honed during three years of the COVID-19 pandemic, Tyler said.
