In 2009, the percentage of children under 18 without health insurance (10.0 percent) was not statistically different from the percentage reported in 2008. The uninsured rate in 2009 for those aged 65 and older (1.8 percent) was also not statistically different from the rate in 2008. The uninsured rate increased for other age groups from 2008 to 2009. For those aged 18 to 24, the rate increased to 30.4 percent from 28.6 percent. For those aged 25 to 34, the rate increased to 29.1 percent from 26.5 percent.

Statistically different from zero at the 90 percent confidence level 1 Details may not sum to totals because of rounding 2 A 90 percent confidence interval is a measure of an estimate’s variability The larger the confidence interval in relation to the size of the estimate, the less reliable the estimate For more information, see “Standard Errors and Their Use” at 3 Federal surveys now give respondents the option of reporting more than one race Therefore, two basic ways of defining a race group are possible A group such as Asian may be defined as those who reported Asian and no other race (the race-alone or single-race concept) or as those who reported Asian regardless of whether they also reported another race (the race-alone-or-in-combination concept) This table shows data using the first approach (race alone) The use of the single-race population does not imply that it is the preferred method of presenting or analyzing data The Census Bureau uses a variety of approaches Information on people who reported more than one race, such as White and American Indian and Alaska Native or Asian and Black or African American, is available from Census 2000 through American FactFinder About 26 percent of people reported more than one race in Census 2000 Data for American Indians and Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders, and those reporting two or more races are not shown separately 4 The “Outside metropolitan statistical areas” category includes both micropolitan statistical areas and territory outside of metropolitan and micropolitan
