Data Story
About Health in Blaine County, Oklahoma
Below national lifespan, high unmet need
Blaine County residents live to just 70.3 years, nearly 5 years below the U.S. average of 75.4 years—among the lowest in our eight-county comparison. Nearly a quarter report poor or fair health at 24.2%, signaling substantial unmet healthcare needs across the community.
Oklahoma's lower-performing counties
At 70.3 years, Blaine County's life expectancy trails Oklahoma's average of 72.7 years by 2.4 years, placing it in the state's bottom tier. The county's 24.2% poor/fair health rate significantly exceeds the state average, indicating concentrated health challenges.
Struggling compared to regional peers
Blaine County's 70.3-year life expectancy is notably lower than Alfalfa (77.7 years), Beaver (76.5 years), and Beckham (72.2 years), though comparable to Adair (69.3 years). However, Blaine offers 58 primary care providers per 100,000 residents—the highest among our eight counties—suggesting available medical infrastructure.
Uninsured rate low, but health outcomes lag
Blaine County's 15.4% uninsured rate is slightly above Oklahoma's average of 15.3%, indicating modest coverage gaps. Despite strong primary care provider density at 58 per 100,000 residents, the county's low life expectancy and high poor/fair health rate suggest barriers to effective care utilization.
Insurance alone isn't enough
