Logan County leads the nation in longevity

Logan County residents enjoy a striking 77.9-year life expectancy, nearly 4.4 years above the U.S. average of 73.5 years—a gap rarely seen at the county level. Just 19.4% report poor or fair health, well below the national 19%, signaling sustained wellness across the population.

Oklahoma's healthiest county by longevity

Logan County's 77.9-year life expectancy towers over Oklahoma's 72.7-year state average—a 5.2-year advantage that makes it a clear outlier in the state. Uninsured rates are also lower at 12.9% versus the state's 15.3%, suggesting stronger economic conditions and healthcare access.

Dramatically healthier than surrounding counties

Logan County's 77.9-year life expectancy vastly exceeds all regional neighbors: Lincoln (74.2), Marshall (73.3), and Mayes (72.2) all trail significantly. Yet the county struggles with primary care deserts, offering just 4 providers per 100,000—the lowest ratio in this region and a critical access gap.

Health paradox: long lives, limited doctors

Logan County's exceptional longevity contrasts sharply with its bare-bones primary care infrastructure of just 4 providers per 100,000 residents. While 12.9% uninsured is the region's best rate, accessing care daily remains a logistical challenge for those seeking routine checkups or preventive services.

Keep Logan's health streak intact

With low uninsured rates already in place, Logan residents should maintain that advantage by verifying coverage annually at healthcare.gov. If you're among the 12.9% without insurance, securing a plan now protects your family from unexpected medical costs.
