Oklahoma counties.

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.
