WIC in Oklahoma

46.8% coverage

Oklahoma's WIC program reaches 46.8% of eligible residents — an estimated 66,000 participants out of 141,000 who qualify. That leaves 75,000 pregnant women, infants, and young children eligible but not receiving WIC's food package or nutrition counseling.

Note: USDA does not publish sub-state WIC participation, so every county in Oklahoma inherits the state's 46.8% coverage rate. County-level eligibles are allocated from state totals in proportion to the county's share of low-income children under 6 (ACS B17024). See methodology.
