Data Story
About Health in Caddo County, Oklahoma
Among the nation's lowest life expectancy
Caddo County residents live to just 69.0 years—6.4 years below the U.S. average of 75.4 years and the lowest in our eight-county group. Over 27% report poor or fair health, significantly exceeding the nation's 18% and signaling acute, widespread health challenges.
Oklahoma's worst-performing county
At 69.0 years, Caddo County's life expectancy trails Oklahoma's average of 72.7 years by 3.7 years—the largest gap in our eight-county group. Its 27.2% poor/fair health rate is the highest statewide among our counties, indicating concentrated need for preventive care and chronic disease management.
Significant gap behind all regional peers
Caddo County's 69.0-year life expectancy lags every neighboring county in our comparison, from Adair (69.3 years) to Alfalfa (77.7 years). With just 23 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, Caddo faces a critical access bottleneck that likely compounds health disparities.
Uninsured and underserved
Caddo County's 16.5% uninsured rate runs above Oklahoma's state average of 15.3%, while primary care provider density at just 23 per 100,000 residents is among the lowest. This dual challenge—limited insurance and scarce doctors—creates formidable barriers to routine and preventive care.
