Adults with Health Insurance (5-year): 19+

Select a Census Place

Measurement Period: 2018-2022

Filter: none (all Census Places)

This indicator shows the percentage of adults aged 19-64 years that have any type of health insurance coverage.

Due to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, changes were made to the definition of a "qualifying child". Under ACA, a qualifying child is under age 19 at the close of the calendar year. Therefore, age categories used to measure health insurance now define those aged 18 as children.

Why is this important?

Medical costs in the United States are extremely high, so people without health insurance may not be able to afford medical treatment or prescription drugs. They are also less likely to get routine checkups and screenings, so if they do become ill they will not seek treatment until the condition is more advanced and therefore more difficult and costly to treat. Many small businesses are unable to offer health insurance to employees due to rising health insurance premiums.
