2018’s City Uninsured Rates
3:49 AMPosted by: John S Kiernan
The national uninsured rate is on an upward trend this year, at 15.5% compared to 12.7% just two years two, according to a study by the Commonwealth Fund. But how widely do the rates differ from city to city?
With the uninsured rate climbing yet the Affordable Care Act remaining in place, WalletHub measured the uninsured rates for 547 U.S. cities and broke them down even further by age, income level and race. In addition, we conducted the same analysis at the state level. Read on for the complete ranking, a ranking by city size and a full description of our methodology.

Methodology
In order to measure the rates of uninsured by city, WalletHub compared the overall insurance rates in 547 U.S. cities in 2017 using U.S. Census Bureau data. In addition to comparing the overall insurance rates, we examined the city rates based on age, race/ethnicity and income level.
An overall rank of No. 1 corresponds with the city with the lowest uninsured rate. When viewing our findings in the above tables, please note that absolute difference refers to the difference between the percentages of uninsured and insured in 2017 and 2010. A small change in the absolute difference does not necessarily indicate a negative outcome, as the percentage of uninsured people pre-Obamacare may have already been low to start with.
In collecting our sample, we considered only the “city proper” in each case and excluded cities in the surrounding metro area. We then categorized each city according to the following population-size guidelines:
- Large cities: More than 300,000 people
- Midsize cities: 100,000 to 300,000 people
- Small cities: Fewer than 100,000 people
- Health Insurance Rate for Children (Aged 0 to 18)
- Health Insurance Rate for Adults (Aged 19 & Older)
- Health Insurance Rate for Whites
- Health Insurance Rate for Black or African Americans
- Health Insurance Rate for Hispanic or Latino
- Health Insurance Rate for Lower-Income Households ($50,000 or less)
- Health Insurance Rate for Higher-Income Households ($100,000 or more)
