Children without health insurance

▼ Lower is better Worsening
Compared against How peers are chosen →

Child uninsured rose 1.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 2.8% to 3.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.7pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 6 of the 21 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

Worsening beyond the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 7 of 21 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: child uninsured fell 3.8 percentage points from 2014 to 2024 (7.6% to 3.8%).

Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: blue tracts rose, orange tracts fell. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim. Hover a tract for its numbers and history, or a table row to find that tract on the map; click either for its location or its data in the Explorer.

Change is measured between each place's two non-overlapping survey periods against its published margins (90% confidence). significant improvement · significant worsening · not significant (within the margin). Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins. Today's rank orders current values in the metric's better direction.
