The new American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year state and county uninsurance estimates for 2011 to 2015 are now available via a SHADAC clickable map. Users can click a state to access a table of uninsurance estimates for the state and all counties.
Background: The 5-year ACS is created by pooling together five years of ACS data to produce estimates for areas and subgroups with smaller populations, so estimates are available even for counties with a population below 65,000.
SHADAC's State Profiles have been updated to include these 5-year estimates.
In other data news, the SHADAC Data Center has been updated with 2015 estimates from the ACS, the Current Population Survey (CPS); the Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS); and the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). Explore the new estimates.
