Health Coverage and the Uninsured - 2010
Source: Georgetown University Center for Children and Families analysis of estimates from the US Census Bureau's 2010 American Community Survey. Updated as of December 2011.
Notes:
Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding effects. Estimates have a 90% confidence interval.
"Children" are under the age of 18 and "low-income" is defined as under 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.
"Other Public" is defined as the number of children who have public health insurance, less the number of children who have Medicaid/CHIP.
