The figure above shows the percentage of adults without health insurance, by age group and type of locality. The percentage of uninsured adults during 2009-2011 was lowest among those residing in large fringe metropolitan counties for both age groups (24.8% for adults aged 18-34 years and 13.3% for adults aged 35-64 years). The percentage uninsured in large fringe metropolitan counties was 12%-29% lower than in the other urbanization levels among adults aged 18-34 years and 22%-38% lower among adults aged 35-64 years. Among adults aged 18¬-34 years, the percentage uninsured was highest in the most rural counties. For all urbanization levels, the percentage uninsured was lower for adults aged 35-54 years than for younger adults.

The percentage of uninsured adults in 2009–2011 was lowest (25% of adults aged 18–34 years and 13% of those aged 35–64 years) among those residing in large fringe metropolitan counties (suburbs of large cities). Among adults aged 18–34 years, the percentage uninsured was highest in the most rural counties (35%) and ranged from 28% to 31% in other urbanization levels. Among adults aged 35–64 years, 17%–18% in medium and small metropolitan areas and 20%–22% in large central metropolitan and nonmetropolitan counties lacked insurance. For all urbanization levels, the percentage uninsured was lower for adults aged 35–54 years than for younger adults.
