Population without Health Insurance
This interactive dashboard provides a clear and compelling look at the uninsured population across Maryland using the most recent American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates. Designed for policymakers, public health professionals, and curious residents alike, the dashboard visualizes disparities in health insurance coverage at the state, county, and census tract levels.
A dynamic map highlights geographic hot spots where uninsured rates exceed national and state averages, with color-coded markers representing both the percentage and estimated number of people without coverage. Users can zoom into specific regions—such as Dorchester County or the broader Eastern Shore or even the State —to explore localized and statewide trends.
Additional panels break down insurance coverage by age group and type (e.g., employer-based, Medicaid, direct-purchase), with intuitive charts and percentages that bring the data to life. Interactive filters let users compare counties, examine total uninsured counts, and assess coverage rates among vulnerable age groups like children and young adults.
Whether you're looking to understand healthcare access in your community or identify areas of need for policy interventions, this dashboard transforms complex data into an accessible, visual storytelling tool.
