In 2023, around ********* of U.S. adults with a family income of less than 100% Federal Poverty Level (FPL) did not have health insurance, the lowest in the provided time interval. This statistic shows the percentage of adults aged 18-64 years without health insurance in the United States from 2019 to 2023, by family income as a percentage of FPL.
In 2019, around ** percent of adults aged 18 to 34 years in the United States with a family income less than 100% of the federal poverty level reported that they had depression. This statistic illustrates the prevalence of select chronic conditions among adults aged 18 to 34 years in the United States in 2019, by poverty level.
In 2023, *** percent of all people in the United States didn't have health insurance. The share of Americans without health insurance saw a steady increase from 2015 to 2019 before starting to decline in 2020 to 2023. Factors like implementation of Medicaid expansion in additional states and growth in private health insurance coverage led to the decline in uninsured population, despite the economic challenges due to the pandemic in 2020. More coverage after Obamacare The groups who saw the biggest improvement in health insurance coverage after the ACA was enacted were Hispanic and Black Americans. Meanwhile, the share of White Americans without health insurance also fell due to Obamacare, but the drop in that group wasn’t as dramatic as in other ethnic groups. This is primarily due to the fact that the uninsured rate among White Americans was much lower pre-ACA than among any other group, so there was less room for improvement. ACA was especially significant for those with low income Although the ACA was signed into law in 2010, many of its major provisions didn’t come into force until 2014, which accounts for the sharp drop in Americans without health insurance in 2014. Adults with a family income lower than 200% of Federal Poverty Level (FPL) were especially impacted by the law, as the share of uninsured adults in this income group dropped ** percent between 2013 and 2015.
This map symbolizes the relative percentages of adults living below the poverty level for the City's 12 Data Divisions, aggregating the tract-level estimates from the the Census Bureau's American Community Survey 2018 five-year samples. Please refer to the map's legend for context to the color shading -- darker hues indicate a higher level of adults living below the poverty level.If you click on each Data Division, you can view other Census demographic information about that Data Division in addition to the population count.About the Census Data:The data comes from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey's 2014-2018 five-year samples. The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing survey conducted by the federal government that provides vital information annually about America and its population. Information from the survey generates data that help determine how more than $675 billion in federal and state funds are distributed each year.For more information about the Census Bureau's ACS data and process of constructing the survey, visit the ACS's About page.About the City's Data Divisions:As a planning analytic tool, an interdepartmental working group divided Rochester into 12 “data divisions.” These divisions are well-defined and static so they are positioned to be used by the City of Rochester for statistical and planning purposes. Census data is tied to these divisions and serves as the basis for analyses over time. As such, the data divisions are designed to follow census boundaries, while also recognizing natural and human-made boundaries, such as the River, rail lines, and highways. Historical neighborhood boundaries, while informative in the division process, did not drive the boundaries. Data divisions are distinct from the numerous neighborhoods in Rochester. Neighborhood boundaries, like quadrant boundaries, police precincts, and legislative districts often change, which makes statistical analysis challenging when looking at data over time. The data division boundaries, however, are intended to remain unchanged. It is hoped that over time, all City data analysts will adopt the data divisions for the purpose of measuring change over time throughout the city.
In 2021, it was estimated that approximately two million adults fell under the Medicaid coverage gap. These were adults in Medicaid non-expansion states who earned too much to be eligible for Medicaid in their state, but still less than the Federal poverty level, and thus ineligible for Medicaid marketplace subsidy and unable to afford private health insurance. Texas is home to the largest uninsured population, with four in ten people in the coverage gap. This statistic illustrates the distribution of adults in the Medicaid coverage gap in the United States in 2021, by state.
In 2023, **** percent of Black people living in the United States were living below the poverty line, compared to *** percent of white people. That year, the total poverty rate in the U.S. across all races and ethnicities was **** percent. Poverty in the United States Single people in the United States making less than ****** U.S. dollars a year and families of four making less than ****** U.S. dollars a year are considered to be below the poverty line. Women and children are more likely to suffer from poverty, due to women staying home more often than men to take care of children, and women suffering from the gender wage gap. Not only are women and children more likely to be affected, racial minorities are as well due to the discrimination they face. Poverty data Despite being one of the wealthiest nations in the world, the United States had the third highest poverty rate out of all OECD countries in 2019. However, the United States' poverty rate has been fluctuating since 1990, but has been decreasing since 2014. The average median household income in the U.S. has remained somewhat consistent since 1990, but has recently increased since 2014 until a slight decrease in 2020, potentially due to the pandemic. The state that had the highest number of people living below the poverty line in 2020 was California.

This statistic depicts the percentage of U.S. adults aged 45 to 64 with any disability as of 2016, by poverty level. According to the data, among that age group, **** percent of those living with incomes less than 100% of the federal poverty level had a disability.
According to findings reported in, The Medicaid Medically Improved Group, Losing Disability Status and Growing Earnings, published in Volume 4, Issue 1 of the Medicare and Medicaid Research Review, participants in the medically improved group option of Medicaid Buy-in programs for working adults with disabilities moved off Social Security cash assistance rolls, or were diverted from them, and increased their earnings nearly 200 dollars per month. The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act gives states the choice to extend Medicaid Buy-In coverage to a medically improved group, but evidence of participants employment results has been lacking. This study shows that enrollment has been limited, with 233 participants in 2009. However, participation has doubled annually, on average, with a low drop out or churn rate. Participants earnings grew significantly, with mean earnings in 2009 at 52 percent above the federal poverty level.

In 2021, it was estimated that more than nearly 3.5 million non-elderly uninsured adults would be eligible for Medicaid if all ten non-expansion states expanded Medicaid coverage. This includes 1.9 million adults in the Medicaid coverage gap. These were adults in Medicaid non-expansion states who earned too much to be eligible for Medicaid in their state, but still less than the Federal poverty level, and thus ineligible for Medicaid marketplace subsidy and unable to afford private health insurance. Furthermore, approximately 1.6 million with income between 100%-138% federal poverty level would also become eligible for Medicaid if all states expanded. Medicaid coverage provides more comprehensive benefits and lower premiums or cost-sharing than subsidized marketplace coverage. The uninsured in Texas account for the highest number of those who would benefit from Medicaid expansion. This statistic illustrates the number of non-elderly uninsured adults in non-expansion states who would be eligible for Medicaid if their states expanded coverage as of 2021.
A more recent web map on this same topic is available for ArcGIS Online subscribers here.This map shows the socioeconomic status of each census tract. Data come from the US Census Bureau's 2011-2015 American Community Survey. Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status, over and above individual socioeconomic status, is a predictor of many health outcomes. The Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status (NSES) Index is on a scale from 0 to 100 with 50 being the national average around 2010. The Index incorporates the following indicators (fields in this layer's attribute table):Median Household Income (from Table B19013)Percent of individuals with income below the Federal Poverty Line (from Table S1701)The educational attainment of adults (age 25+) (from Table B15003)Unemployment Rate (from Table S2301)Percent of households with children under the age of 18 that are "female-headed" (no male present) (from Table B11005)NSES = log(median household income) + (-1.129 * (log(percent of female-headed households))) + (-1.104 * (log(unemployment rate))) + (-1.974 * (log(percent below poverty))) + .451*((high school grads)+(2*(bachelor's degree holders)))To learn more about how the NSES Index was developed, please explore this journal articleMiles, Jeremy and Weden, Margaret; Lavery, Diana; Escarce, José; Kathleen Cagney; Shih, Regina. 2016. “Constructing a Time-Invariant Measure of the Socio-Economic Status of U.S. Census Tracts.” Journal of Urban Health, vol. 93, issue no.1, pp. 213-232. or this PPT presentation presented at the University of Texas at San Antonio's Applied Demography Conference in 2014.
This statistic shows the percentage and rate of uninsured nonelderly adult workers in the U.S. in 2022, sorted by family poverty level. Some 12.7 percent of uninsured adult workers were living <100% of the federal poverty line, while within that same group, 25.7 percent of workers were uninsured.
The Equity Focus Area dataset identifies the census tracts that have concentrations of equity populations above the regional average in King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. The 2011-2016 U.S. Census Bureau’s 5-year American Community Survey data was analyzed for this dataset. Equity focus populations include people of color, people with low incomes (below 200% of federal poverty level), youth (5-17), older adults (65+), people with disabilities, and people with limited English proficiency (who don`t speak English very well). This dataset was used for the 2022-2050 Regional Transportation Plan analysis.
