Uninsured rate, Texas counties
Uninsured rate by Texas county · all 254 counties · hover or tap a county for every figure on this page
In a typical Texas county, 16.6 percent of people have no health insurance, the midpoint among all 254 counties. That county rate is not a state figure. When every Texan is counted once, 17.4 percent are uninsured, a little higher, because Harris and Dallas sit above the middle. Dallam County is 36.3 percent, the highest, and Loving and Kenedy, the two smallest published universes, show zero uninsured. Six counties are at 30 percent or more, and 5.1 million people without coverage live mainly in the big metros. Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, Bexar and Hidalgo alone account for nearly half of them.

Uninsured rate · all 254 · ranked high to low
The complete ranking, all 254 counties, nothing left out. Dallam County leads at 36.3 percent, then Bailey at 33.7 and Hudspeth at 33.6, a stretch of Panhandle, Plains and border counties. Six counties are at 30 percent or more. The twenty-fifth county, Hale, is 23.5 percent, and the fiftieth, Harris, is 21.2 percent. The middle county sits at 16.6 percent. 11 counties fall below 10 percent, and Loving and Kenedy are last at 0.0 percent. A county rate is not a state figure.
People without health insurance, all 254 counties
People uninsured · all 254 · ranked high to low
Every county, ranked by the number of people without coverage rather than the rate. Harris has 1,001,621, about one in five of all Texans without insurance. Dallas, Tarrant, Bexar and Hidalgo follow, and those five counties hold 49.2 percent of the statewide count. The largest 25 hold 78.3 percent. High rates and large counts are not the same map: Dallam leads the rate ranking with 2,593 people uninsured, while Collin sits near the bottom of the rate ranking with 110,563.
Uninsured ages 19 to 64, all 254 counties
Uninsured ages 19 to 64 · all 254 · ranked high to low
Working-age adults are where Texas coverage is thinnest. In a typical county, 24.0 percent of people ages 19 to 64 have no health insurance. Culberson County leads at 48.9 percent, then Jim Hogg and Edwards at 45.8 percent. The twenty-fifth county, Liberty, is 35.0 percent. Under 19 the typical county is 12.2 percent, and among people 65 and older it is 0.7 percent, because Medicare covers almost everyone. Kenedy and Loving publish zero working-age uninsured; both have tiny universes.
Uninsured rate against county size
Civilian noninstitutionalized against uninsured rate · one point per row, 254 of 254 plotted
Each point is one Texas county. Uninsured rate and county size barely move together: the correlation with the coverage universe is 0.01, so size explains almost none of the pattern. Hidalgo (29.7 percent, 873,406 people) is large and high-uninsured. Harris sits at 21.2 percent with 4,731,652 people in the universe. Small counties run the full range, from Dallam at 36.3 percent to Loving and Kenedy at 0.0 percent. Geography, not size, is what the ranking is showing.
All counties
254 rows · 9 columns · sorted by uninsured rate, high to low
The full dataset: all 254 counties with uninsured rate, covered rate, people uninsured, people covered, the civilian noninstitutionalized population, and uninsured rates for people under 19, ages 19 to 64, and 65 and older, sorted by uninsured rate and re-sortable on any column. Use the filter box to jump straight to a county by name. The Census published an overall figure for every Texas county. Loving County has no one under 19, so that cell is an em dash. A county rate is not a state figure; averaging the 254 rates would weight Loving County the same as Harris.

About this data
- Health insurance status is published for the civilian noninstitutionalized population (table B27001), not for every resident. People in institutions are left out of the universe.
- A county rate is not a state figure. Averaging the 254 rates would weight Loving County the same as Harris. The 17.4 percent figure counts every person once.
- The Census published an overall coverage figure for every Texas county. No counties were suppressed on the main rate. Loving County has no one under 19 in this universe, so that age-group cell is shown as an em dash and is left out of the under-19 ranking. Kenedy and Loving publish zero uninsured; both have tiny universes and large margins of error.
- Coverage for people 65 and older is high because of Medicare. The working-age (19 to 64) rate is the gap that moves the county ranking.
