Oklahoma Policy Institute has updated a powerful tool for learning about your county and the quality of life of its residents. CountySTATS 2013 displays summary data and statistics for each of the state’s 77 counties with a two page fact-sheet that:
- Displays key local summary statistics at-a-glance
- Prioritizes your county’s most important indicators
- Simplifies complicated information with colorful graphics
- Enables quick county comparisons along a range of social, economic, and demographic indicators
Find out what percentage of your county’s residents lack health insurance, are enrolled in Medicare, and how its overall health compares to the rest of the state. These two page colorful fact sheets feature fifteen important indicators along with five simple charts that provide a snapshot of your county.
This resource, along with our online local data app, is an excellent source of accurate information for educators, students, entrepreneurs, professors, policy makers, journalists, grantwriters, community groups, and anyone who would like to have a better understanding of Oklahoma and its residents.
