% of Population without Health Insurance, by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Alabama

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Northern Alabama exhibits notably higher uninsured rates, with several zip codes in the 20–35% range clustering around rural areas between Huntsville and the Tennessee border, contrasting sharply with lower rates in the Birmingham metro area where many zip codes fall below 10%. The Black Belt region through central-south Alabama displays a mixed pattern, with pockets of very low coverage (dark purple, near 0%) adjacent to moderate uninsured rates, likely reflecting disparities between institutional populations and surrounding rural communities. Coastal zip codes near Mobile Bay generally maintain moderate uninsured rates in the 10–15% range, while the southeastern wiregrass region shows relatively uniform coverage gaps around 10–20%.
