1 A Profile of Virginia s Uninsured March 2018 Laura Skopec, Joshua Aarons, and Genevieve M. Kenney The Urban Institute

2 Methods All data are from the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), which are conducted by the US Census Bureau and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, respectively. The family structures and corresponding income and employment estimates presented in the ACS analyses were based on tax units, or groups of individuals whose income would likely be counted together for the purposes of eligibility for Medicaid or the Marketplace. Tax units are generally smaller than Census-reported families, and their income is generally lower than the Census estimates of family-based income. As a result, the ACS estimates of the number of uninsured by income may not match those from other sources that are based on alternative family and income units. ACS estimates reflect additional Urban Institute adjustments for potential misreporting of Medicaid/CHIP coverage on the ACS developed by Victoria Lynch under a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. This report provides more in-depth information than the tables produced by the US Census Bureau.

3 Main Takeaways There were about 718,000 nonelderly uninsured (ages 0-64) in Virginia in The uninsured rate for the nonelderly in Virginia fell 0.4 percentage points between 2015 and 2016, from 10.7% to 10.3%. In 2016, the uninsured rate in Virginia (10.3%) was statistically higher than the national average uninsured rate (9.9%) for the first time since insurance coverage questions were added to the ACS in The uninsured rate for children (ages 0-18) in Virginia was 4.9% in Approximately 97,000 children were uninsured.

4 Main Takeaways (continued) 70.3% of uninsured nonelderly Virginians (504,000) live in families with income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). 60.8% of uninsured children in Virginia (59,000) live in families with income at or below 200% of the FPL. Most uninsured Virginians are adults; 44.8% are white and 79.5% are in working families. Uninsured rates are higher in four regions of the state, one in the Prince William County area, one in the upper Piedmont area, one in Southside Virginia, and one in southwest Virginia. Uninsured adult Virginians are much more likely than insured adult Virginians to have unmet needs and less likely to receive preventive services.
