Children without health insurance

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

Child uninsured fell 7.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 11.7% to 4.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.6pp). 4 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.

Improving beyond the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 8 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: child uninsured fell 11.4 percentage points from 2014 to 2024 (15.7% to 4.2%).
