Data Story
About Health in Tillman County, Oklahoma
Tillman County falls short of U.S. health
At 71.8 years, Tillman County's life expectancy trails the U.S. average of 73.5 years by 1.7 years, signaling below-average population health. The county's 25.7% poor/fair health rate—well above the national 21% average—reflects a community facing substantial chronic disease and health limitation challenges.
Ranks low within Oklahoma counties
Tillman County's 71.8-year life expectancy falls 0.9 years below Oklahoma's state average of 72.7 years, placing it among the lower-performing counties. The 25.7% poor/fair health rate reinforces that Tillman County faces deeper health challenges than most of Oklahoma.
Struggles with limited provider access
Tillman County's 71.8-year life expectancy and 25.7% poor/fair health rate place it among the region's most challenged counties, similar to Seminole County (69.0 years) and Sequoyah County (70.3 years). The critical distinction: Tillman County has only 14 primary care providers per 100,000 residents—the lowest in this profile—severely limiting routine care access.
Severe primary care shortage with high uninsurance
At 17.5% uninsured, Tillman County exceeds Oklahoma's 15.3% state average, but the real crisis is provider scarcity: just 14 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, less than one-seventh of Rogers County's 37. Even insured residents struggle to find primary care physicians, making preventive care access a critical barrier to better health outcomes.
Insurance first, then seek care
Tillman County's 17.5% uninsured rate compounds an already severe provider shortage—getting covered is your first step. Visit Healthcare.gov or contact the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to enroll in Medicaid or an ACA plan, then connect with Federally Qualified Health Centers offering care to underserved rural areas.
