Profiles of Those without Michigan Health Insurance based on Location

Profile of the Uninsured by Location

Who are the uninsured?

A full 86 percent of Michigan residents without health insurance live in an urban area, with the remainder living in rural areas of the state. The terms urban and rural refer to counties located either within a Metropolitan Statistical Area (urban) or outside a Metropolitan Statistical Area (rural). Out of Michigan's 83 counties, 25 are defined as urban and 58 as rural.

How does Michigan compare with the rest of the U.S.?

Both urban and rural residents in Michigan, with uninsurance rates of 12.2 percent and 11.0 percent respectively, have lower uninsured rates than similar individuals nationally whose rates are 17.2 percent and 17.8 percent respectively.

Who's at risk for being uninsured?

Residents in urban Michigan have a slightly greater risk of being without health insurance coverage than rural residents. This reverses an earlier trend in which the rate of uninsurance was greater in rural areas of the state and results primarily from an almost two percent increase in the rate of uninsurance in urban areas between 1999-2001 and 2004-2006.
