In 2023, 25 million people in the United States had no 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 the 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. Positive impact of Affordable Care Act In the U.S. there are public and private forms of health insurance, as well as social welfare programs such as Medicaid and programs just for veterans such as CHAMPVA. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted in 2010, which dramatically reduced the share of uninsured Americans, though there’s still room for improvement. In spite of its success in providing more Americans with health insurance, ACA has had an almost equal number of proponents and opponents since its introduction, though the share of Americans in favor of it has risen since mid-2017 to the majority. Persistent disparity among ethnic groups The share of uninsured people is higher in certain demographic groups. For instance, Hispanics continue to be the ethnic group with the highest rate of uninsured people, even after ACA. Meanwhile the share of uninsured White and Asian people is lower than the national average.
In 2023, 12.6 percent of those aged between 26 and 34 were uninsured in the U.S., a decrease from the previous year. This statistic shows the uninsured rate for non-elderly people in the U.S. from 2023, by age group.
In 2022, around eight percent of the total population of the United States was uninsured. Texas was the state with the highest percentage of uninsured among its population, while Massachusetts reported the lowest share of uninsured This statistic presents the percentage of the total population in the United States without health insurance in 2022, by state.
This dataset shows the statistics of United States uninsured persons with no health coverage under age 65 by selected characteristics. Data are based on household interviews of a sample of the civilian noninstitutionalized population.
In 2020, just over half of all uninsured children lived in states that had not expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) despite the fact that only 35.2 percent of U.S. children lived in a non-expansion state. Moreover, the uninsured rate of these children was twice as high as those living in states that had expanded Medicaid. This statistic depicts the distribution and rate of children without health insurance in the U.S. in 2020, by state Medicaid expansion status.

This data is pulled from the U.S. Census website. This data is for years Calendar Years 2009-2014. Product: SAHIE File Layout Overview Small Area Health Insurance Estimates Program - SAHIE Filenames: SAHIE Text and SAHIE CSV files 2009 – 2014 Source: Small Area Health Insurance Estimates Program, U.S. Census Bureau. Internet Release Date: May 2016 Description: Model‐based Small Area Health Insurance Estimates (SAHIE) for Counties and States File Layout and Definitions
The Small Area Health Insurance Estimates (SAHIE) program was created to develop model-based estimates of health insurance coverage for counties and states. This program builds on the work of the Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) program. SAHIE is only source of single-year health insurance coverage estimates for all U.S. counties.
For 2008-2014, SAHIE publishes STATE and COUNTY estimates of population with and without health insurance coverage, along with measures of uncertainty, for the full cross-classification of: •5 age categories: 0-64, 18-64, 21-64, 40-64, and 50-64
•3 sex categories: both sexes, male, and female
•6 income categories: all incomes, as well as income-to-poverty ratio (IPR) categories 0-138%, 0-200%, 0-250%, 0-400%, and 138-400% of the poverty threshold
•4 races/ethnicities (for states only): all races/ethnicities, White not Hispanic, Black not Hispanic, and Hispanic (any race).
In addition, estimates for age category 0-18 by the income categories listed above are published.
Each year’s estimates are adjusted so that, before rounding, the county estimates sum to their respective state totals and for key demographics the state estimates sum to the national ACS numbers insured and uninsured.
This program is partially funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC), National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection ProgramLink to a non-federal Web site (NBCCEDP). The CDC have a congressional mandate to provide screening services for breast and cervical cancer to low-income, uninsured, and underserved women through the NBCCEDP. Most state NBCCEDP programs define low-income as 200 or 250 percent of the poverty threshold. Also included are IPR categories relevant to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). In 2014, the ACA will help families gain access to health care by allowing Medicaid to cover families with incomes less than or equal to 138 percent of the poverty line. Families with incomes above the level needed to qualify for Medicaid, but less than or equal to 400 percent of the poverty line can receive tax credits that will help them pay for health coverage in the new health insurance exchanges.
We welcome your feedback as we continue to research and improve our estimation methods. The SAHIE program's age model methodology and estimates have undergone internal U.S. Census Bureau review as well as external review. See the SAHIE Methodological Review page for more details and a summary of the comments and our response.
The SAHIE program models health insurance coverage by combining survey data from several sources, including: •The American Community Survey (ACS) •Demographic population estimates •Aggregated federal tax returns •Participation records for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp program •County Business Patterns •Medicaid •Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) participation records •Census 2010
Margin of error (MOE). Some ACS products provide an MOE instead of confidence intervals. An MOE is the difference between an estimate and its upper or lower confidence bounds. Confidence bounds can be created by adding the margin of error to the estimate (for the upper bound) and subtracting the margin of error from the estimate (for the lower bound). All published ACS margins of error are based on a 90-percent confidence level.

Analysis of ‘Health Insurance Coverage’ provided by Analyst-2 (analyst-2.ai), based on source dataset retrieved from https://www.kaggle.com/hhs/health-insurance on 28 January 2022.
--- Dataset description provided by original source is as follows ---
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the name for the comprehensive health care reform law and its amendments which addresses health insurance coverage, health care costs, and preventive care. The law was enacted in two parts: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law on March 23, 2010 by President Barack Obama and was amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act on March 30, 2010.
This dataset provides health insurance coverage data for each state and the nation as a whole, including variables such as the uninsured rates before and after Obamacare, estimates of individuals covered by employer and marketplace healthcare plans, and enrollment in Medicare and Medicaid programs.
The health insurance coverage data was compiled from the US Department of Health and Human Services and US Census Bureau.
How has the Affordable Care Act changed the rate of citizens with health insurance coverage? Which states observed the greatest decline in their uninsured rate? Did those states expand Medicaid program coverage and/or implement a health insurance marketplace? What do you predict will happen to the nationwide uninsured rate in the next five years?

The American Community Survey (ACS) helps local officials, community leaders, and businesses understand the changes taking place in their communities. It is the premier source for detailed population and housing information about our nation. This dataset provides estimates for Health Insurance Coverage in Pennsylvania and is summarized from summary table S2701: SELECTED CHARACTERISTICS OF HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE IN THE UNITED STATES.
A blank cell within the dataset indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute the statistic for that area.
Margin of error (MOE). Some ACS products provide an MOE instead of confidence intervals. An MOE is the difference between an estimate and its upper or lower confidence bounds. Confidence bounds can be created by adding the margin of error to the estimate (for the upper bound) and subtracting the margin of error from the estimate (for the lower bound). All published ACS margins of error are based on a 90-percent confidence level.
While an ACS 1-year estimate includes information collected over a 12-month period, an ACS 5-year estimate includes data collected over a 60-month period. In the case of ACS 1-year estimates, the period is the calendar year (e.g., the 2015 ACS covers the period from January 2015 through December 2015).
The percentage of people in the United States with health insurance has increased over the past decade with a noticeably sharp increase in 2014 when the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted. As of 2023, around 92 percent of people in the United States had some form of health insurance, compared to around 84 percent in 2010. Despite the increases in the percentage of insured people in the U.S., there were still over 25 million people in the United States without health insurance as of 2023. Insurance coverage Health insurance in the United States consists of different private and public insurance programs such as those provided by private employers or those provided publicly through Medicare and Medicaid. Almost half of the insured population in the United States were insured privately through an employer as of 2021, while 18.9 percent of people were insured through Medicaid, and 15.4 percent through Medicare . The Affordable Care Act The Affordable Care Act (ACA), enacted in 2014, has significantly reduced the number of uninsured people in the United States. In 2014, the percentage of U.S. individuals with health insurance increased to almost 90 percent. Furthermore, the percentage of people without health insurance reached an all time low in 2022. Public opinion on healthcare reform in the United States remains an ongoing political issue with public opinion consistently divided.
This map shows where children have no health insurance coverage in the US. Children are defined as those under age 19. The map shows the percentage of all children who are uninsured, but also shows the total count of uninsured children. The map shows uninsured children by states, counties, and tracts, and the map can be customized and saved into a new map for anywhere in the US. The pattern can be seen throughout the US by searching for an area of interest. The data comes from the most current American Community Survey (ACS) estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. The metadata, vintage, and source information about the data layer used in this map can be found here. The data layer is updated automatically each year when the Census releases their new estimates, so this map always contains the newest data values.To find more US health-related layers and maps to use in your projects, visit the ArcGIS Living Atlas Health subcategory.
In 2022, 76.2 percent of all uninsured children were from the age group between six to 18 year, while the rate of uninsured within the same age group was 5.4 percent, the highest rate of children of all age groups. This statistic shows the percentage and rate of children without health insurance in the U.S. in 2022, by age group.

This layer contains 2010-2014 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year data, and contains estimates and margins of error. The layer shows health insurance coverage sex and race by age group. This is shown by tract, county, and state boundaries. There are also additional calculated attributes related to this topic, which can be mapped or used within analysis. Sums may add to more than the total, as people can be in multiple race groups (for example, Hispanic and Black). Later vintages of this layer have a different age group for children that includes age 18. This layer is symbolized to show the percent of population with no health insurance coverage.

Click here to learn more about ACS data releases and click here for the associated boundaries layer. The reason this data is 5+ years different from the most recent vintage is due to the overlapping of survey years. It is recommended by the U.S. Census Bureau to compare non-overlapping datasets.Boundaries come from the US Census TIGER geodatabases. Boundary vintage (2014) appropriately matches the data vintage as specified by the Census. These are Census boundaries with water and/or coastlines clipped for cartographic purposes. For census tracts, the water cutouts are derived from a subset of the 2010 AWATER (Area Water) boundaries offered by TIGER. For state and county boundaries, the water and coastlines are derived from the coastlines of the 500k TIGER Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles. The original AWATER and ALAND fields are still available as attributes within the data table (units are square meters).

This layer shows the percentage of the civilian noninstitutionalized population who do not have insurance. This is shown by census tract centroids. The data values are from the 2012-2016 American Community Survey 5-year estimate in the B27001 Table for health insurance coverage status broken down by by age and sex characteristics.This map helps to answer a few questions:How many people in the United States don't have health insurance?Where are the concentrations of uninsured population?This map helps to tell a local pattern about insurance in the United States. The data can be stratified by different age and sex characteristics in order to create additional maps. By default, the pop-up provides a breakdown of total male and female uninsured population. This data was downloaded from the United States Census Bureau American Fact Finder on March 1, 2018. It was then joined with 2016 vintage centroid points and hosted to ArcGIS Online and into the Living Atlas. The data contains additional attributes that can be used for mapping and analysis.

In 2023, 25 million people in the United States had no 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 the 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. Positive impact of Affordable Care Act In the U.S. there are public and private forms of health insurance, as well as social welfare programs such as Medicaid and programs just for veterans such as CHAMPVA. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted in 2010, which dramatically reduced the share of uninsured Americans, though there’s still room for improvement. In spite of its success in providing more Americans with health insurance, ACA has had an almost equal number of proponents and opponents since its introduction, though the share of Americans in favor of it has risen since mid-2017 to the majority. Persistent disparity among ethnic groups The share of uninsured people is higher in certain demographic groups. For instance, Hispanics continue to be the ethnic group with the highest rate of uninsured people, even after ACA. Meanwhile the share of uninsured White and Asian people is lower than the national average.
