About Health in Beaver County, Oklahoma

Above-average life expectancy, higher uninsured

Beaver County residents live to 76.5 years, roughly one year above the U.S. average of 75.4 years, suggesting good overall life span. However, one in five residents lacks health insurance at 20%, significantly above the nation's 10.9% uninsured rate.

Living longer but less protected

At 76.5 years, Beaver County's life expectancy exceeds Oklahoma's average of 72.7 years, yet its 20% uninsured rate is substantially higher than the state's 15.3%. This paradox suggests that some residents achieve good health despite lacking steady insurance coverage.

Strong lifespan, weaker insurance coverage

Beaver County's 76.5-year life expectancy rivals Alfalfa County (77.7 years), but its 20% uninsured rate far exceeds nearby counties like Alfalfa (15%) and Blaine (15.4%). Limited data on provider availability makes full healthcare access assessment difficult for this county.

One in five uninsured, data gaps remain

Beaver County's 20% uninsured rate is the highest among our eight counties, creating financial barriers to healthcare even as residents enjoy strong life expectancy. Provider availability data is currently unavailable, but the high uninsured rate signals access challenges that merit investigation.
