List of Oklahoma counties by socioeconomic factors
This list of Oklahoma counties by socioeconomic factors is taken from the "Quick Facts" web pages of the United States Census Bureau and the Population Health Institute of the University of Wisconsin. All data listed is for 2020 unless otherwise stated.
By comparison with the United States as a whole, the statistics in the following table shows that Oklahoma has a lower per capita and household income than the national average plus a lower rate of population growth and a less educated population as measured by the percentage of people with bachelor's or higher degrees compared to the national average. Oklahoma has a higher rate of people in poverty and people without health insurance than the U.S. as a whole. Oklahoma's population has a higher percentage of non-Hispanic whites than the national average, although one Oklahoma country has a plurality of Native Americans (American Indians) and another has a plurality of Hispanics.
Oklahomans on average have a life expectancy of three years less than the national average although three Oklahoma counties (out of 77) have life expectancies exceeding the national average. A few Oklahoma counties also exceed the U.S. national average for income, population growth rate, education, and have a lower rate of poverty. Republican candidate Donald J. Trump received a plurality of votes in every Oklahoma county, and a majority in every county but one in the 2020 Presidential election.
The 2020 census is a snapshot of Oklahoma's population. Depending upon the methodology used and the time of measurement, socioeconomic statistics cited may vary from year to year, especially in counties with very small populations.
