Kids Count Data Center

Definitions: The two-year average percentage of children under 19 years of age without any type of health insurance during the prior calendar year and the three-year average percentage of children under age 19 with health insurance. The current rate represents the two-year average percentage of uninsured children from the Current Population Survey for years 2004-2008 (data reflect coverage for 2007 - 2008). The trend represents the average annual percent change of the two-year rolling averages for 2003-2004 through 2007-2008.

This is a valuable indicator for the state of Kansas; unfortunately data is not available at the county level for all 105 Kansas counties at this time.
