Children without health insurance

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

Child uninsured rose 3.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 1.9% to 5.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.8pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 6 of the 30 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 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: child uninsured rose 0.5 percentage points from 2014 to 2024 (5.1% to 5.6%).
