Data Story
About Health in Okfuskee County, Oklahoma
Lowest life expectancy in Oklahoma

Significant health crisis in the county
Okfuskee County's 68.8-year life expectancy falls 3.9 years below Oklahoma's state average of 72.7 years, ranking among the state's lowest. Its 27.2% poor/fair health rate is the worst in the state group analyzed, representing a public health crisis.
Far below regional health standards
Okfuskee County's 68.8-year life expectancy is the lowest in the region, trailing even Muskogee County (70.1) and Okmulgee County (69.9). At 27.2% poor/fair health, the gap is dramatic and demands urgent intervention.
Severe primary care shortage, adequate mental health
Okfuskee County has only 9 primary care providers per 100,000 residents—the lowest among surveyed counties—creating a critical access barrier. While 336 mental health providers per 100K show relative strength, the primary care crisis undermines preventive health and chronic disease management.
