Children without health insurance

▼ Lower is better Real improvement
Compared against How peers are chosen →
What changed

Child uninsured fell 3.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 6.3% to 2.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.3pp).

Broader trend
10% of similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction; 13% moved the other way. San Jacinto started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.
Longer view
Child uninsured fell 6.3 percentage points from 2014 to 2024 (8.8% to 2.5%).

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.

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.
