Data Story
About Health in Atoka County, Oklahoma
Life expectancy nearing national average
Atoka County residents live to 72.9 years, slightly below the U.S. average of 75.4 years but close enough to suggest manageable health challenges. About one in four residents reports poor or fair health at 25.7%, higher than the nation's 18% but lower than several neighboring counties.
Roughly on par with state benchmarks
Atoka County's 72.9-year life expectancy closely matches Oklahoma's state average of 72.7 years, placing it in the middle of the state's health performance. Its 25.7% poor/fair health rate runs above the state average, indicating room for improvement in disease prevention and chronic care.
Mixed picture against regional peers
Atoka's life expectancy of 72.9 years exceeds Adair County (69.3 years) and Caddo County (69.0 years), but trails Alfalfa County (77.7 years) significantly. The county faces a critical provider gap: just 14 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, the lowest among our eight counties.
Higher uninsured rate, limited primary care
Nearly 18% of Atoka County residents lack health insurance, above Oklahoma's state average of 15.3%, while only 14 primary care doctors serve every 100,000 residents. This combination limits residents' access to preventive care and early diagnosis of chronic conditions.
