Summary

Darker amber is a higher share of residents without health insurance. Puerto Rico is listed in the ranking and table but is not on this map. Alaska and Hawaii appear in the ranking; on the map they are drawn in the usual insets.

Among the 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico on the 2023 ACS five-year estimates, a typical published area has 7.3% of residents without health insurance, the midpoint of the 52 areas. Texas has the highest uninsured share at 17.4%, and Massachusetts has the lowest at 2.6%. 12 published areas sit at or above 10% uninsured, while 7 sit below 5%. These are each area's own coverage rates for the civilian noninstitutionalized population, not a national average of state rates.

About this data

Health insurance coverage status comes from ACS detailed table B27001 (Health Insurance Coverage Status by Sex by Age) for the civilian noninstitutionalized population.
Insured and uninsured counts are the sums of the age-by-sex leaf cells in B27001. Shares are those counts divided by the table total for each area.
A state coverage rate is that state's own share, so the 52 rates cannot be averaged to produce a national figure.
The Census published 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. None of the coverage totals were suppressed.
ACS special values such as -555555555 on a margin of error mean the estimate is controlled and has no sampling MOE; those cells are stored as blank.
Puerto Rico is in the ranking and table. On the US state map it is omitted; Alaska and Hawaii use the usual insets.
