| County Level Estimates of the Uninsured in
North Carolina
|
These reports provide county-level estimates of the number
and percentage of people under the age of 65 in North
Carolina who lack health insurance for two time frames:
the three year period 1999-2001, and the year 2002. The
model uses pooled data from the US Census Bureau's Current
Population Surveys (CPS) and population characteristics
of each of North Carolina's 100 counties to estimate uninsurance,
including gender, race, ethnicity, poverty status, educational
attainment, and employment characteristics.
Data Caveats and Assumptions: Calculations
are made for the population UNDER THE AGE OF 65 YEARS.
For the population 65 years and older, Medicare coverage
is assumed and therefore are excluded from the analysis.
Members of the armed forces were also excluded for similar
health insurance coverage issues. Please note: If the
65 and older population were included into the estimates,
the percentage of the entire population who lack health
insurance would decline, because a fully insured population
would be added. |
