Community Health Assessment and Improvement Plan
Sutter County
Summary
Sutter County residents live about two years less than the California average, and smoking has climbed to 16% of adults versus 10% statewide — with the gap widening since 2021. The health department's plan targets homelessness, sexually transmitted infections (especially syphilis), and building resilient communities. Supervisors pressed for solutions to the rising tobacco use.
