SHADAC tables of state and county uninsurance estimates for 2013 to 2017 are now available via clickable map. Users can click a state to access a table of 5-year uninsurance estimates for each state as a whole, as well as all counties located within, using data from the American Community Survey (ACS).  

Data 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. With the 5-year pooled data, estimates are available even for counties with a population below 65,000 (for which estimates are not available with just a single year of ACS data).
