Children without health insurance

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

Child uninsured rose 3.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 3.1% to 6.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.5pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 5 of the 29 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; 8 of 29 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: child uninsured fell 2.0 percentage points from 2014 to 2024 (8.6% to 6.6%).
