Population and Minority Population
in California

2. Uninsured Population Compared to
Minority Populations in California
• There is an obvious correlation between the two maps depicting
the counties with the largest Black and Hispanic populations.
• Several of the counties with the highest percentage minority
populations also have a large percentage of the population
uninsured.
• The counties with the highest percentage of uninsured persons do
not necessarily correspond to counties with a large minority
population.
• There is a stronger correlation between the uninsured map and the
map of the Hispanic population, than there is between the
uninsured map and the map of the Black population.
• Due to the lack of a strong correlation between uninsured and
minority populations, it would be useful to look at additional
factors, such as the employment rate.
