State-Level Health Insurance Coverage Estimates from the 2010 American Community Survey
SHADAC Issue Brief #28 provides state-level estimates of health insurance coverage by age and income from the 2010 American Community Survey (ACS).
The maps and tables included in this brief provide state-level estimates for the nonelderly population (age 0 to 64), children (age 0 to 18), and nonelderly adults (age 19 to 64). Within each age group, we also present separate estimates for the low-income population (people with family incomes at or below 200 percent of federal poverty guidelines).
Standard errors of the estimates are provided in the Appendix.
