About Health in Marshall County, Oklahoma
Marshall County lags behind U.S. health averages
At 73.3 years, Marshall County's life expectancy trails the U.S. average of 73.5 years by just 0.2 years—a narrow but telling gap. Yet 25.5% report poor or fair health, significantly above the national 19%, indicating Marshall residents shoulder disproportionate chronic disease burdens.
One of Oklahoma's health-challenged counties
Marshall County's 73.3-year life expectancy exceeds Oklahoma's 72.7-year state average by only 0.6 years, placing it near the middle of state rankings. The 18.6% uninsured rate stands well above the state's 15.3%, compounding health disparities for nearly 1 in 5 residents.
Among region's sicker populations
Marshall County's 73.3-year life expectancy ranks fourth in this region, trailing Logan (77.9), Lincoln (74.2), and Major (74.1), but its 25.5% poor/fair health rate is the highest regionally. Primary care access at 26 per 100,000 is adequate, yet mental health providers (338 per 100,000) suggest significant behavioral health crises.
High disease burden, high uninsured rates
Marshall County faces a compounding crisis: 25.5% report poor or fair health—the region's highest—while 18.6% remain uninsured, the region's worst rate. Limited primary care (26 per 100,000) forces many to delay preventive visits, allowing treatable conditions to worsen into emergencies.
