The County Health Rankings show us that where we live matters to our health. The health of a community depends on many different factors - ranging from health behaviors, education and jobs, to quality of health care, to the environment.

The uninsured adults measure represents the estimated percent of the adult population under age 65 that has no health insurance coverage.

The Small Area Health Insurance Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau provide annual estimates of the population without health insurance coverage for all U.S. states and their counties. The estimates we use are for the most recent year for which reliable county-level estimates are available. (More current estimates are likely to be higher so caution is advised against reporting this specific measure for a particular county.)

Lack of health insurance coverage is a significant barrier to accessing needed health care.
