Census Bureau Releases Comprehensive Health Insurance Coverage Estimates by County

News release: “The U.S. Census Bureau today released the most extensive estimates it has ever published on county-level demographic characteristics of people with and without health insurance coverage. The 2005 estimates cover all states and counties across gender, age and income as well as race and Hispanic origin (for states only).”

  • “The Small Area Health Insurance Estimates (SAHIE) provide new and important detail on how health insurance coverage varies across counties,” said Lynn Blewett, director of the State Health Access Data Assistance Center in Minneapolis. “Analysts and policymakers can use this information to target outreach activities and other intervention strategies to increase coverage and access to needed health care services.”
