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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Uninsured rates in the Charlotte metro area exhibit a clear urban-suburban divide, with several zip codes south and southwest of Charlotte—particularly near Gastonia—displaying elevated rates in the 20–30% range, while northern suburban communities around Huntersville, Kannapolis, and Concord generally fall below 10%. A cluster of bright yellow-green zip codes just south and east of downtown Charlotte stands out with some of the highest uninsured rates in the metro, likely exceeding 35%, contrasting sharply with adjacent dark purple zip codes near the city center that report rates near or below 5%. The western periphery of the metro shows consistently higher uninsured percentages than the eastern side, suggesting disparities in insurance access that align with known socioeconomic gradients across the region.
