Data Story
About Health in Love County, Oklahoma
Love County's life expectancy trails the nation
At 72.5 years, Love County's life expectancy falls just 1 year short of the U.S. average of 73.5 years—a small gap that compounds over a lifetime. With 21.1% reporting poor or fair health versus the national 19%, residents face elevated chronic illness rates that accelerate mortality.
Slightly below Oklahoma's health benchmark
Love County's 72.5-year life expectancy slightly underperforms the state average of 72.7 years, placing it near the middle of Oklahoma's health rankings. The 16.3% uninsured rate edges above the state's 15.3%, adding economic strain to an already stressed healthcare landscape.
Outmatched by stronger regional performers
Love County ranks among the region's weaker health performers, with its 72.5-year life expectancy trailing Logan (77.9), Lincoln (74.2), and Major (74.1). Primary care providers, however, stand at a strong 49 per 100,000, suggesting geographic access isn't the primary barrier.
Access exists, but barriers remain high
Love County offers 49 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, well above many regional peers, yet health outcomes remain sluggish. The real roadblock is likely affordability: 16.3% lack insurance, and chronic disease rates (21.1% poor/fair health) suggest many skip preventive care due to cost.
Insurance is your first step forward
If you're among Love County's 16.3% uninsured, visiting healthcare.gov or calling 1-800-318-2596 can connect you to affordable plans or Medicaid coverage. With strong provider availability, getting insured is your gateway to using those doctors and reversing health decline trends.
